Friends of the Wetumpka Library (FOWL), established in 2001, is a group of individuals, families and businesses that all have the love of books in common. Another shared belief is the importance of public library service in our community.

FOWL supports the library through fundraisers which supplement already existing sources of funding. This extra funding helps to enrich the library in many ways.  FOWL has made various purchases for the library over the last few years including  computer tables, a rug for the children’s room, two world globes, 12 chairs, and a collection of about 23 junior and young adult audio books on CD. Another way FOWL is important is by helping the library give back to the community through programming for adults and children. FOWL supports the yearly Summer Library Program, has an ongoing book sale in the library, and conducts other fundraisers  for this purpose.

For adults FOWL has meetings that feature local authors who love to talk about and autograph their books. Check the library’s Events Calendar for any upcoming book or author events.

One yearly fund raiser, Murder on the Menu, is held every February. Learn more about this fun time by asking “What is Murder on the Menu?”

One other thing FOWL members do whenever they get together is have fun! Check Membership Information if interested in joining.
