2024 Accomplishments

The past year saw us get back to a more normal mode of operation. Our yearly planning session helped us renew our commitment to supporting our Tualatin Public Library. Below are some of our major accomplishments in 2024.

  • We hosted two book/media sales, raising nearly $5,000 to help support our Tualatin Library.
  • We’ve raised an additional $20,000 via our ongoing sale shelves inside the library, membership dues, donations, and other miscellaneous sales.
  • We donated over $17,000 to the Tualatin Library in support of a variety of programs that enrich our Tualatin Community.
  • We made various improvements to our operations, such as adding a QR code to streamline PayPal payments, and updated various technology to help keep things running efficiently.
  • And, the biggest, most time consuming, achievement is that we updated our Bylaws!

We’re always looking for new Friends and volunteers

If you’re already a member of the Friends, please consider taking a more active role through volunteering. If you’re not a member, that’s OK, too. We’re small, but mighty…and sometimes we need more help to get all the things done. We’d love to chat with you about our opportunities. Jump over to our Contact form and send us a note.
