The mission of FOLIO is to strengthen libraries in Oklahoma through Friends of Libraries.
At the Governor’s 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).

Ready2Read@YourLibrary includes 30 libraries cooperating in a preschool project to maximize early literacy for young children. The project is administered by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries and Friends of Libraries in Oklahoma, and is supported by the Institute for Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act.
Each library will have training from Valerie Kimble, storyteller extraordinaire, on great ways to enhance story times with puppets and other learning activities as well as will receive $1500 of materials and supplies for story times and the library's collection.
