WHO WE ARE:
The Friends of the Pleasant Grove Branch Library are dedicated to the support of our branch library and the patrons it serves. We were established in 2006; we are a 501(c)(3) no-profit corporation under the law of Texas.
WHAT WE DO:
We raise funds that provide support for the many various needs that are not funded by the City of Dallas for our Public Branch Library due to budget cuts or budget short falls. The Friends support of the Pleasant Grove Branch Library is not especially important, as we all struggle to survive form bdget cuts or budget shot falls. We have raised money to buy books, DVD’s, CDs, and audio books. We have also provided money for children’s programs, Scholarships for Senior High School students, the Mayors Summer Reading Program, Halloween Programs, Easter Programs and other various events and performances, and miscellaneous necessities such as magazine subscriptions.
We also have a teen board component of the board where we work closely with teens to help promote the mission of the organization and do community service, and volunteer service for the Pleasant Grove Library Branch.
HOW WE RAISE MONEY:
Our membership dues and grant contributions are a large part of our funding. We host book sales, and a Spaghetti Dinner.
