Friends of the Westwood Public Library
The Friends of the Westwood Library (FOL) is a not-for-profit volunteer fund raising and out reach organization that works to enhance everyone's experience at our public library.
What Do We Do?
The FOL underwrites author visits, children's programing and museum passes, helping the library with needs outside their operating budget -and we contribute to making the library a fun place to visit !!
