Welcome to the Friends of Braselton-West Jackson Library...

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed it's the only thing that ever has." 
                                                                                                      Margaret Mead
Our Mission
Friends of the Braselton-West Jackson Library provides vital support for the library by bringing crucial library issues to the community and public officials for promoting public knowledge of the library regarding programs and raising much needed monies for the purchase of materials and supporting the programs.

 

Our Profile

Founded in 2003, the Friends of the Braselton-West Jackson Library has been an organization dedicated to bringing attention to important library issues and raising money for materials and programs. The organization was founded when there was a danger of the PINES program, Georgia's statewide lending program that allows libraries to share inventory, was going to be eliminated.

Our History
Barrow County News, Nov. 14, 2002
 
The Friends of the Braselton-West Jackson Library has seen the library grow from a small space run by volunteers through the Braselton Women's Club, to the new facility located on West Broadway that opened in November 2006. It is through Friends' monetary and physical presence that has helped the library keep running and growing.

Our Membership
We currently have over 200 members and an active Board of Directors. We have many programs throughout the year and just recently opened a store and café located in the Library staffed and sponsored by members of Friends. In addition, Friends applied and received a $15,000 grant from Jackson EMC that went for children's books.  Membership is only $10.00 per year, $100 lifetime.
Our Librarian
Bev Adkins, manager of the Braselton Library, says "They are a great group of people... They are the best of friends."
