Friends of the Wakefield Libraries We're a group of library lovers who do what we can to help The Gafney and Wakefield Libraries.

Friends of the Wakefield Libraries, FOWL, is an organization established in 1987 to encourage understanding, appreciation and support of Wakefield's two libraries. It serves as a medium through which friends of the libraries may become acquainted and share their enthusiasm for books and other media. As a group, we focus on how to better serve the needs of the libraries; where some time is spent raising funds to aid the library when the needs go beyond the library budget. The Friends typically meet at 1:00 on the second Wednesday of every month in the Gafney Library Community Room.

An enormous “thank you” to the Lake Forest Resort residents and their hard working, community minded and generous volunteers. The Friend’s is honored, and extremely grateful, for this generous gift which helps us continue our work supporting the ever growing number of patrons using our wonderful and unique Wakefield libraries.

The good folks over at Lake Forest Resort did an amazing job during their annual week-long fundraiser. And they have generously shared those proceeds with the Friends of the Wakefield Libraries and with the Wakefield Food Pantry.

These funds are very much appreciated. Just this morning at the Food Pantry, we helped out 53 families - over 100 people. The need never goes away and we are awed by and thankful for the support of our community.
