Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Valley of the Tetons Library is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to  enriching the resources and facilities of the Valley of the Tetons Library. With funds raised through used book sales, the Tin Cup Challenge, and other events, we have helped to create the Driggs Makerspace, purchased shelving and other furniture to make the library more comfortable and welcoming, contributed to the Victor entrance renovation, and increased the library’s digital collection, as well as many other improvements over the years. We also support through funding various library programs, such as writers workshops, book discussions, and the summer reading program for children. As a non-profit, we take tax-deductible donations on behalf of the library.

We welcome all who’d like to help. Time commitments can be as small as you want, and no special talents are required! We can use help with setting up and taking down book sales, staffing book sales, sorting through donated books, and hauling books to recycling centers or thrift stores. We welcome ideas, comments, questions, and anyone who would like to be involved with the Friends. To get involved, call the library at either location or email volunteer@votlib.org.

  • Kathryn Rawn

    Kathryn is a retired teacher who relocated to beautiful Idaho. “Growing up in a rural area, with no neighbors, the library was where I met hundreds of new friends -in books. I checked out The Secret Garden so many times that the librarian gave me a copy; I still love that book.”
