Thanks to support from the Washington County Public Library Foundation, we narrow the gap between the information “haves” and “have nots” in today’s information society, even while state funding falls and costs rise.

How the Foundation Uses Your Gift
Funds raised by the Foundation do not replace tax money; they enhance the quality and extend the range of services that public funds provide.
Because of strong community support, WCPL has avoided closing branches and cutting hours and services.
The Foundation has provided funding for e-library materials and for construction and renovation of branch libraries.
We appreciate your support of the WCPL Foundation.
