Help the Library by Participating in Compass for Your Cause

Here's an easy, no-cost way to give money to the Friends that will benefit the library.  Compass Bank is starting a new program for non-profits:  BBVA Compass For Your Cause.  If you open a new checking account, Compass will give the Friends $50 (May through July; $20 thereafter).  Compass will also give the Friends 0.25% of check card purchases made from new or existing accounts.

Please stop by or call any BBVA Compass Bank (1-800-Compass) and tell the representative you want to open a new account or add the Friends code to your existing account.  Give the representative Bonus Banking Code 73165 to make sure the Friends start benefiting right away from your support.


The Friends of the Lake Travis Community Library provide volunteer service to the Lake Travis Community Library. Read the Bylaws. For information call 263-2885 or email friends@LakeTravisLibrary.org.

Meetings:  The Friends of the Library meet monthly, usually on the third Thursday of each month.  The meetings are at 9:30 am at the library.  Read the minutes for more information.  Also, review the Friends 2010 Budget that was approved at the December 10, 2009 meeting.

Volunteer Opportunities: The library is always in need of volunteers. Volunteers work in 3 hour shifts assisting the staff with library tasks, including shelving books and checking books in and out for patrons.
