Friends of the Walker Public Library is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the library in making information, books, and programs available to the public.
​
Formed in 2002 by Karen Keener, we are a small but mighty group. Our purpose is to help provide funding for library activities and services not funded by the City of Walker, the Kitchigami Regional Library System, and the surrounding townships.
Build A New Library
The Greater Walker Community is building a new library. The current library has been in temporary quarters in the lower level of the American National Bank building for the past two years, in a space that is half the size of the previous building.
​
Thanks to generous donations from the surrounding townships, organizations, local businesses, and individuals, the Dale and Harriet Jones Walker Public Library is nearing completion. We continue to raise funds for landscaping and anticipated future maintenance. The new library is expected to open this Fall.

Become A Friend
Become a member of the Friends of the Walker Public Library! We are a group of people with a strong passion to support our community and LOVE our local library. The Friends meet monthly from May through August to discuss upcoming Friends events and explore ways to support our local library and community.

We welcome all individuals to join, whether you're part of a club, organization, parent of a youngster, or just someone who is willing to contribute their time to the library and community.
