| “The first organizational meeting of the Friends of the Palm Springs Library convened at the Francis Crocker Branch at 4:00 p.m. May 25, 1971. The Friends’ first event was a social gathering of people interested in joining the Friends. This was hosted at the Welwood Murray Library on Sunday, April 9, 1971.” “By the end of 1971, the Friends’ Board had completed its by-laws and could boast of more than 200 dues paying members. From that point forward, the Friends would play a major role in funding Library projects, collection supplements, furniture, lecturers and portions of many construction projects. In addition, the Friends’ memberships would provide a community-wide base for both library advocacy and community input.” At Sunrise _______________________________________ A branch of the Palm Springs Library, the Welwood Murray Memorial Library provides WiFi, computers, a Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism location and a Research Library for the Palm Springs Historical Society. For Research Library access, please contact the Historical Society. |
