| A
Little History about The
Friends of the Irving Public Library |
The
Friends of the Irving Public Library began
as a private corporation made up of Irving citizens dedicated to
promoting interest in and welfare of the Irving Public Library.
Originally called, "Irving Municipal Library Association" it was
recorded as a non- profit corporation on Sept. 5, 1961. The incorporators
were: William H. Yeandle, L.E. Keller and Mrs. Victor Alexander.
The Friends of Irving Public Library spreads reading and the love
of books in our community by raising funds for library programs,
materials such as books and magazines, and resources like databases.
They are among the city's most fervent literacy boosters, working
hard at author programs, book sales, and the North Texas Teen Book
Festival. The annual Friends book sale attracts book hunters from
all over North Texas, and the August Teacher's book sale helps stock
up local classrooms with inexpensive child and teen reading material.
Over the years these original founders, numerous volunteers and
the current board members have given and continue to give their
tireless efforts in support of the Irving Public Library. Thus for
over 55 years The Friends of the Irving Public Library have expanded
services and opportunities for their members and for the library.
The Friends now offer 1st Wednesday of the month book sales for
members, preview night at the annual book sale for members, branch
book sales to accommodate library customers in all 4 locations,
teachers book sale to support books in the classrooms, handle funds
for grants, donations, sale of author books at events in addition
to an annual pledge to the library for resources and programming.
