MISSION:  The Library Friends of Payson, Inc., is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide financial and community support to the Payson Public Library. We believe that public libraries comprise an integral aspect of community identity and development, and we support endeavors that encourage literacy and free inquiry within the individual, the family, and society.

 

HISTORY:  Like many of Rim Country's finest service organizations, "The Library Friends" were established as a 'grassroots' effort to support the growing Payson Public Library.

We have evolved from just providing books -- to purchasing computers and other equipment & funding Public Library programs that would not otherwise be covered in its Town and County budget.

 

SERVICES WE PROVIDE: We offer a Free Library Services for Homebound Individuals - through our "Library Buddy Program." We also purchase books and supplies for Payson Public Library.

 

PROJECTS WE SPONSOR:  We are an Annual Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Showcase participant.
 

We maintain the LFOP bookstore (a used bookstore in the Payson Public Library). Staffing is done entirely by volunteers.

During May the Library Friends of Payson Bookstore will be featuring a 2 for the price of one special on all hardback books. Stop by and stock up on your favorite author. While you're there pick up a favorite VCR tape for 50 cents or browse the bargain table in the lobby. All bargain table items will be on sale for 25 cents.

As June approaches, parents and grandparents are concerned with keeping children's reading skills active during the summer. The Bookstore has a great selection of children's books to help promote summer reading. They will all be on sale at two for the price of one during May. This is a great opportunity to keep children reading over summer break.

Every penny spent in the Library Friends of Payson Bookstore is reinvested in the Payson Library to support the purchase of new material and many special programs. Therefore, Bookstore customers not only benefit from one of the best values to be found in Payson, they also support an important civic institution. Bookstore stock changes daily, so the wise shopper visits frequently. The Bookstore is located to the right of the circulation desk just inside the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road

 


 

 

Dear Library Friends: Library Friends of Payson will host a Transition Town Payson presentation on May 20 at 10:30 a.m. in the Library meeting room. Speakers Monte McCord and Vee and Dean Gooding will explain the “Transition Model,” emerging as a grass-roots response to climate change, depletion of resources and world-wide economic uncertainty.

The mission of Transition Town Payson is to encourage people to work together to build an environmentally resilient Rim Country. TTP is not a political, religious or exclusive organization. Rather, it welcomes all people, affirms and assists already-existing local efforts, businesses and organizations. It promotes net-working among all of these groups in an effort to strengthen them and our local community. TTP Motto is "Reduce-Reuse-Recycle," the three R's that form the practical application of Transition values.

The Library Friends and Transition Town Payson extend a welcome to all who would like to attend this free program. There will be a short meeting at 10 a.m. reviewing Library and Library Friends information. Light refreshments will be served. For further information please contact the Library at (928) 474-9260. Linda Lanctot, President
