Chiloquin Visions in Progress

Friends Of the Chiloquin Library (FOCL)

Promoting and focusing public attention on our local Chiloquin library.

The Friends of the Chiloquin Library is a CVIP program that focuses on supporting our local public library located within the Chiloquin Community Center. The program's goals are to stimulate the use of the library's resources, help develop library services and facilities for the community, and encourage reading through activities and events for all ages.

You will often find FOCL members at the Chiloquin Friday Market giving away books to read, conducting Story Time with Paprika the Pirate and Sister Sage at the library, and conducting other fun events such as hosting a “High Tea / Coffee Time” for adults and seniors at our Chiloquin library.

Stay current on our events and activities by following us on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/719488976798080.

FOCL's History

The Friends of the Chiloquin Library (FOCL) was formed on March 2, 1980, to support the local library in the City of Chiloquin. In 2000, FOCL, with the generous support of our community, successfully raised $4,700, contributing to the building fund for the Community Center, which is currently housing the library. 

In 2023, the current Board of Directors for FOCL announced their intention to conclude operations by the end of 2023. They appealed to interested individuals to take on the responsibility of leading the group. Enter a dedicated group of community members who rose to the occasion, forming a new Board of Directors. Together, they took up the mantle and relaunched the Friends of the Chiloquin Library with a new commitment to supporting our local public library, enhancing library services, and fostering a love for reading activities and events for all age groups.

At the end of 2024, the Board of Directors for both FOCL and CIVP agreed to bring FOCL into CVIP as one of its programs.

Support the community by volunteering with the Friends of the Chiloquin! Volunteers play a vital role in helping with library events, fundraising efforts, and promoting literacy. Whether you have a few hours or more to give, your time and skills will make a big difference in enhancing the library's programs and services.
Join us in fostering a love for reading and learning in Chiloquin.
