Plans for a membership drive and activities for the first year of this new organization will be discussed. Oakwood residents who want to promote use of the library and foster public support for library services are especially invited to attend this meeting. Friends of the library won’t all think alike; their commonality will be that they value the services Wright Library provides to the Oakwood community.
