The Capital Campaign is currently underway, and the Friends group is hosting a raffle. If you would like to purchase a raffle ticket, please send an email to libraryfriendspoc@gmail.com or reach out to one of the Friends volunteers. Refer to the attached flyer for more information, and keep in mind that all the proceeds will support the expansion of the Port O'Connor Library.
This is a vital step toward shaping "Our Next Chapter" in the growth of the Port O'Connor Library. As our community continues to expand, so too do the needs and expectations for our library services. To meet these challenges and for the library to continue serving its patrons effectively, we invite everyone to join us in this important endeavor.
We encourage all community members to consider how they can contribute to this worthy cause. Together, we can build a brighter future for our library and the community it serves.
“Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve and contribute to improving our quality of life.” Sidney Sheldon
