The Gaillardia shown in the window above the FOLIO bookshelf, is Oklahoma's official State wildflower. Also known as the Indian Blanket, the flower symbolizes Oklahoma's scenic beauty as well as the state's Indian heritage. Oklahoma's landscape is also adorned with many beautiful libraries, --libraries that, like the Gaillardia, need nurturing and support in order to bloom to their fullest glory.

 

Friends of Libraries in Oklahoma

2009 Oklahoma Literary Landmark Dedication honoring

John Joseph Mathews
Osage Writer & Tribal Councilman, Artist, Naturalist, Historian, & Scholar
Conference on Libraries in 1978, a proclamation called for a state Friends of the Library to be formed. From that Proclamation came the original Board and Membership of Friends of Libraries in Oklahoma, FOLIO. All Board Members are lovers of books so the name FOLIO seemed exactly right. The mission of FOLIO is to promote and nurture libraries in Oklahoma by assisting and encouraging citizens to support their libraries.

FOLIO won the Baker Taylor Award in New Orleans in 1999 as the outstanding State Library Friends group. The award was for work completed in 1998, the 20th year of FOLIO
