As we step into a new year with the Friends of the Rockwall County Library, I am filled with both gratitude and excitement. Gratitude for the incredible support, dedication, and generosity that have brought us this far, and excitement for what lies ahead.

Our theme for 2025–2026, “A New Chapter Begins,” perfectly captures this moment. It reflects not only the natural rhythm of seasons and stories, but also the evolving role of our organization and the library we love. We are turning the page to a fresh chapter: one full of opportunity, creativity, and community.

Whether you’re a longtime Friend or joining us for the first time, your involvement makes a difference. This year, we’ll grow our membership, enjoy amazing programs, and continue to champion literacy and learning across Rockwall County. Together, we’ll write a chapter that uplifts, connects, and inspires.

Thank you for being part of our story. I can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together in this exciting new chapter.
