| Who Are the Friends of the Library?
The Friends of the Whittier Public Library is a growing membership
of individuals and organizations interested in books and libraries
and active in promoting the quality of services and facilities of
the Whittier Central Library and Whittwood Branch Library.

memorial tributes; to provide, through volunteer efforts, financial
support of services and materials for which public funds are not
available.
