The Friends of the Library Scholarship![]() The Friends of the Library 2021 Scholarship is now accepting applications. CLICK HERE to access application.
The 2021 Scholarship of $3,000.00 will be selected from received applications and awarded in May 2021. Please check back to learn about the winner! These jigsaw puzzles have been curated to remember our time under COVID. With the lockdown, many turned to puzzles as an activity for families to do when there was no going out to meet friends or entertain.
The proceeds will go directly to the Friends of the Library and Celebrate Westwood, which in turn support our local stores and businesses. Each puzzle is $20.00 and can be purchased through the Friends of the Library store above or by calling the Library to place and order with cash/check made payable to the Friends of the Library. Annual Fund DriveDonations collected in the annual fund drive go directly to the Library to provide things like museum passes, new computers, concerts, children's programs, and much, much more. Although the Library is closed, funds are still needed to provide services that would remain otherwise out of reach like Mango Languages, Ancestry.Com and other databases.
