Friends of Whelden Memorial Library

The Friends of Whelden Memorial Library—affectionately known as “FOWL”— are a dedicated and enthusiastic group who support the library’s trustees and staff in meaningful ways.

Through their fundraising efforts—including a twice-monthly bookstore and occasional bake sales—the Friends contribute annually to the library’s budget, helping to support programs, services, and resources for the West Barnstable community and all who use the library. Their ongoing support plays an important role in enhancing what the library is able to offer.

Thanks to the Friends, the library is able to provide experiences and resources that go beyond the basics and enrich the experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

The Friends meet at the library on the second Friday of every other month at 9:30 am, and new members are always welcome.
