Friends of the Metropolitan Library System support our libraries monetarily by having a
an annual Booksale the last full weekend of February. We need lots of volunteers to do a variety
jobs such as moving boxes into the Made in Oklahoma building and unpacking boxes of book and
stacking on tables in the week before the actual Booksale. During the booksale we need
volunteers to restock tables, cashier, work in the Holding areas and work in customer service.
We have a complete listing of all jobs and times on our Metropolitan Library System website so

The Friends are a volunteer organization made up of members who recognize that the value of life in a community is enhanced by a quality library system.

The Friends provide valuable community support and public relations for the library system. In the past, they have assisted the library in winning approval of a county ad valorum millage levy and with funding programs and projects for the library and staff.
The Friends’ largest project each year is a 2 day fundraising Book Sale which raises money by selling donated books and materials. The funds raised are given back to the local libraries in the form of grants. Just over $3 million has been granted back to the local libraries since the Book Sale began in 1981.
