Welcome...
Because we are using a City owned building, we must comply with all of the directives issued by the City Of Keller relative to COVID-19. We will only allow five shoppers into the store at one time and we strongly recommend that you wear a mask and maintain distance from other customers. Should you need to wait in order to enter the store, we will have several bookcarts on the sidewalks so you may browse while waiting.
Our Bookstore relies on volunteers, and we could use some help. If you'd like to volunteer, please contact Linda Engle at 817-705-4336. We'd very much appreciate your support.

We'll be posting these (hopefully) every month. As you can see, LOTS of people continue to use the library.
The Friends of the Keller Library is a registered non-profit organization consisting of dedicated individuals who care about our community and the future of our children and grandchildren. Our mission is to support the Keller Library in its efforts to provide access to information for life-long learning. To do this, we raise funds for the Keller Library, mainly, through our bookstore.
Monthly meetings are on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm, usually at the Library.
Please stop by and check us out. Buy some books or donate some of your own for future resale. You will find bargains in every category.
Another way you can help us in our efforts is to become a volunteer. We need people to staff our store for two hours at a time- either 10am-12pm or 12pm-2pm on Wednesdays or Saturdays.
Also, consider becoming a member to show your support of the Friends and the community. You can be an active member (volunteer) or an inactive member. The choice is up to you. Click here to become a Friend of the Library.
Members of the Friends work all year to raise money. Although the bookstore is our main source of income, we do receive additional funds from membership dues, donations, grants and fund-raising events. The money is used to purchase items and programs for the library - things that would not be possible otherwise. We especially focus on children, providing materials and financial support for programs throughout the year.
