LIBRARY FRIENDS OF PAYSON
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.
