About WSFOL
The West Sacramento Friends of the Library (WSFOL) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the West Sacramento community by supporting literacy, learning, and community programming and services at the Arthur F. Turner Community Library in West Sacramento.
We believe that a thriving public library is vital to community wellbeing and that all West Sacramento community members deserve a welcoming place to read, learn, and enrich their lives!
Our History
WSFOL was formed as the East Yolo Friends of the Library over 60 years ago in the small community of East Yolo. After the community was incorporated as the City of West Sacramento in 1987, we transformed into the West Sacramento Friends of the Library!
When the Arthur F. Turner Community Library was constructed in 2009, WSFOL provided $50,000 for the building fund. We continue to donate thousands of dollars each year to the Library for community members to enjoy free programs and services!
Our Mission
The West Sacramento Friends of the Library raises funds to develop diverse collections and community programs for all ages at the Arthur F. Turner Community Library.
We promote the Library as an educational and cultural center for the entire West Sacramento community. We support Library programs and services that strengthen community connections and reflect and celebrate the diverse languages, cultures, and history found in West Sacramento. Everyone is welcome at the Library!
