"ADOPT A CHAIR" PROJECT

The Friends of the Wenatchee Library presents the "Adopt a Chair" project. Please help us re-furnish the newly remodeled Wenatchee Library.

Our goal is to purchase new club chairs, tables, and lamps so the public library resembles a bookstore.

You will be able to choose the color of leather you want on your chair (available in Black, Banana, or Mink) and the wording on the plaque affixed to the chair’s back. The cost to adopt your chair is $650.00. Go it alone or gather support from your family, friends or co-workers and adopt as a group. The chairs are American made and will be purchased locally from Crown Furniture, *FOL is a 501 C3 organization so your gifts are tax-deductible. Send your adoptions to: Friends of the Library, Adopt A Chair Project. 310 Douglas St. Wenatchee, WA 98801. Please call 662-5021 with questions.
