Most citizens don't realize that most small towns have to totally fund their library. A Friends of the Library organization was started in 1985 and has been invaluable to the support and promotion of the library programs and activities. They assist with exhibits, programming, public relations, and fund raising. Through the years the library has sponsored many program, notably a Summer Reading Program each summer for the children, story times for children, the Reading Is Fundamental program, G.E.D. preparation classes, and English as a second language program. The library is a focal point of the downtown area.
Many groups use the meeting rooms available upstairs over the library.
The library reference room is used also for meetings of the Honey Grove City Council, Chamber of Commerce, Industrial Foundation, Oakwood Cemetery Association, and many other groups. The library has no limits on its service area, and its services are available free of charge to anyone. Mary Fowler is the Library Director, and has worked for the library over twenty years. Other employees are Deidra Jackson, April Stanford, and Mac Siebenthall. The offices of the Hall-Voyer Foundation are housed on the second floor of the library building.
