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.

Thanks to funding from the WCPL Foundation, our patrons enjoy:

• E-books
• Two renovated branch libraries (Mendota and Hayters Gap)
• Two new branch libraries (Glade Spring and Damascus)

The Foundation is currently raising funds for a new main library in Abingdon to replace our 1973 facility.

We appreciate your support of the WCPL Foundation.

Foundation Board

The WCPL Foundation was created in 1996 to support the library. The Foundation is managed by a board of directors that includes a representative from the Library Board, the Friends of the Library and the community.

The library thanks these community members who give so generously of their time and support.

Pete Montague, president
