Friends of the Atascocita Library on Facebook

Atascocita Branch Library

Even though annual book sales have not been possible for some time due to Covid, construction, and severe weather, FOAL book sale shelves are available in the lobby.

Volunteers fill shelves daily and usually someone is available in the afternoons to help our patrons. In addition to books, you’ll find DVD’s, CD’s, puzzles, board games, magazines and much more. All items are donated, allowing an ever- changing variety to choose from.

Currently, teaching materials and school related items have been popular, with holiday books, magazines, and décor soon to follow. Most paper backs are 50¢ and hard covers $1; cash only.

Everyone is invited to follow FOAL on Facebook. Snapshots of new and featured items will be posted regularly, with information concerning FOAL and library programs.

Check: http://www.HCPL.net for library hours. Email: contact@foal.ws for more information.

Thanks to Allstate Foundation — $1,000 Grant

Atascocita Branch Library

Allstate FoundationOver the years, FOAL volunteers who work for companies that fund grants for hours volunteered  have done so for the library.  Recently, Allstate Agent Timothy Bates volunteered his time at the library in order to fulfill application requirements for A Helping Hands in the Community grant.  This grant not only requires the Agent to volunteer time, but is limited in number and rewarded after review.  We appreciate Allstate Foundation’s support of FOAL as we continue our mission to benefit the library and the community.

Other companies in the area, including ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Best Buy, support their employees or retirees volunteerism by providing grants. Check with your Human Resources department to see if they do the same.
