About the West Osceola Friends of the Library
Mission and Purpose
The purpose of The Friends is threefold:
 | To develop programs that encourage literacy in West Osceola County and Celebration |
| To develop programs to encourage our youth to participate in library programs and develop reading skills |

Background
The community of Celebration has been discussing the possibility of opening a full service branch of the Osceola Library in Celebration since the inception of the Lakeside Volunteer Library.

The West Osceola Friends of the Library was incorporated on April 29, 2004, and is registered with the State of Florida as a public charity that is permitted to raise funds through donations, contributions, and memberships. The following information is provided to enable prospective contributors to make an informed choice regarding their participation in the Friends mission.
