Letter From our President
On behalf of the Friends of the Collierville Burch Library, it is my
pleasure to welcome you to our website.
The Friends meet the first Wednesday of each month in the Halle Room at the Library. Our goal is to support the Library through fund raising and volunteer service and to promote reading and literacy skills.
Our Book Club meets monthly to discuss a wide variety of books and authors. The children of Collierville look forward to FLIP, our summer reading program that extends the library to our parks and playgrounds. We staff and maintain a wonderful bookstore where you can purchase gently used books. We also hold two major book sales yearly. Visit our Activities page for details of our various plans and projects. We're proud of our library and its outreach in our community, and we encourage you to join us as together we seek to enhance the services our library provides.
There is a place for you! Join us and find your spot.
Peggy Turnipseed
President
