All profits from the sale go to the Friends of Lopez Island Library which is the fund raising arm of the library and supports a variety of library programs and special equipment purchases that benefit the library and its patrons. Special programs supported by the Friends of the Library include presentations by writers such as Olympic Medalist Ginny Gilder and Washington State Poet Laureate Dr. Tod Marshall as well as talks by remarkable adventurers in the series Beyond Limits. The Children’s Summer Reading Program, Children’s Summer Program, Teddy Bear Picnic and Books for Babies are programs directed at young readers and future readers.
