The Wylie Library Advisory Board is gearing up for an exciting fundraising opportunity at the upcoming city fireworks show. During their recent meeting on June 23, 2025, board members discussed a proposal from the city’s public information officer to allow the Friends of the Library to sell glow-in-the-dark items at the event.

This initiative comes after last year’s experience with unlicensed vendors at the fireworks show. By taking on this responsibility, the Friends of the Library can not only ensure that sales are conducted legally but also generate funds to support library programs and services.

The board expressed enthusiasm about the potential for this fundraiser, highlighting its dual benefit of enhancing community engagement while bolstering library resources. As plans develop, the Friends of the Library are expected to finalize their offerings and promotional strategies in the coming weeks.

This collaboration marks a significant step in strengthening the library's connection with the community and underscores the importance of supporting local initiatives.
