Membership
Our bookstores at Woodstock and Hickory Flat have allowed us to continue raising money for the libraries in place of the old sales model, but we continue to rely on memberships and grants. Keeping our membership up is very important, please see the Become a Friend and About tab to learn more! The FOL have been receiving funds from grants to present to the libraries but that has now changed too as companies are not bequeathing as much in grants due to the current situation.

Book Sales
Under our current model of operation, we have "live/manned sales" every second Friday and second Saturday of each month at the FOL Bookstore in the Woodstock Public Library. There are no large book sales scheduled at this time. Our second bookstore in the newly renovated Hickory Flat Library is now open! This store solely runs on an honor system, open when the library is open. Currently there are no plans to host a live sale at this location. There are no large book sales scheduled at this time.
