Aims of FOHWL
The
Friends of High Wycombe Library was established in February 2004
following an initiative by the Wycombe
Group Librarian, Elaine Collier.
Since then, Friends has developed into a vibrant organisation under
the leadership of an
Executive Committee.
The aims of
Friends are:
- To promote the status and function of local
Library
Branches.
- To foster and develop skills of a cultural and
educational nature amongst members of the community of all
ages
and
ethnicity.
- To provide input to the Library from the point of
view of the whole
community.
- To provide assistance to the Library in the
provision of additional resources.
In
furtherance of these Objectives, Friends:
- Organise a programme of talks on a wide
range of topics designed to interest all sections of the
community.
- Arrange special events to promote the
Libraries and raise funds for Friends, which enables us to provide
the
Library with some financial assistance to acquire additional
equipment which would not otherwise be
available.
- Support the library
staff with volunteer helpers, to enable the Library to organise a
wider range of activities and
promote the use of the Library by the community.
