The Oak Lawn Library Friends, Dallas would like your support of our organization, our wonderful library and all the different programs we have offered this year. Without your financial support many of these programs would not have reached fruition. If you have attended some of our classes and programs, we hope you enjoyed them, and we encourage you to look for future offerings - many exciting items on our schedule!
Since September 2024, we have funded $1722 for craft supplies to support various programs, $1000 for new books, $970 for gardening books and programs, $200 for a 2-year subscription for our website and $441 for an annual subscription to BookPage. In total, we have invested over $4,000 in our branch in the past year.
Our sewing classes continue to fill every time we offer them - Our Friends group have now purchased two sewing machines and an OLLF member donated a third. We are a library of so much more than books. We are providing gardening programs for indoor plants and patio gardens.

We ask that you consider our group when you are making your donations. We are a non-profit where a little goes a long way! Along with our program funding we are also hoping to increase our children and teens libraries next year. We would love more programs aimed at adults. If your company offers a matching policy, please remember us for that also! Double the fun!
Libraries are more important now than ever - they are a central part of our community and offer resources unavailable anywhere else - please remember the Oaklawn Library Friends during North Texas Day of Giving.
