President's Message
If you’ve spent any time in our library lately, you already know, there’s something special happening there.
It’s not just a place to check out books. It’s where kids discover stories they can’t put down, where friendships are formed over shared interests, and where our community shows up, day after day.
Recently, the Rockwall County Library Advisory Board presented the results of a community survey to the Commissioners Court. The message from our residents was clear and consistent. They love their library, they use it often, and it plays an important role in their daily lives. And their request was simple.
They want more.
More books.
More programs.
More resources for families, children, and lifelong learners.
That is where the Friends of the Library step in.
We are proud to be the “more” our library needs. Through memberships, donations, and volunteer efforts, we help expand what is possible. We support the programs that inspire young readers, the resources that serve our growing community, and the experiences that make our library a place people return to again and again.
If you have ever attended a program, picked up a book from the Book Alcove and made a donation, or simply enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere of our library, you have seen the impact firsthand.
As we move into this busy and exciting season, I invite you to continue being part of that impact. Whether through membership, volunteering, or simply sharing our mission with others, you play an important role in helping us provide the “more” our community is asking for.
Thank you for your continued support and for believing in the power of our library.
Lesli Y. Johnson
President, 2025-2026
