ABOUT US
The Friends of Island Library (FOIL), a non-profit organization, owns the Island Library and an auxiliary building, which provides space for our annual book sale and storage. We fund the upkeep of these buildings, their grounds, and additional support of library programming with proceeds from our annual book sale, our annual silent auction and generous contributions from our island community. The FOIL Board meets on the third Monday of each month at the Library.
To support FOIL’s work, send donations to PO Box 204, Lummi Island 98262 or via Paypal
