Annual Campaign
It has been an amazing year for Way Library. And much of it was made possible because of private gifts to the Way Public Library Foundation & Friends. Donations were the primary funding source for many of the 700+ programs we provided for youth, tweens, teens, and our young, middle-aged, and older adults. Without the support of our donors, many of these programs would not have been possible.
Thanks to generous support in 2018, we were able to start a monarch butterfly garden, purchase new Ellison dies, host gallery exhibits, introduce stationary bikes, make landscaping improvements, support Local History initiatives, launch the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten project, and expand our wildly popular Beyond Books and cake pan collections. Plans are currently underway to implement a “Go Green” initiative and to make technology improvements in our public meeting rooms
Way is constantly reevaluating the needs of our community. Thanks to the vision and passion of our tremendous volunteers, our great staff and of our highly committed donors we eagerly look forward to exciting things in 2019. Thank you for your continued generosity. Your tax-deductible donation is not only an investment in Way but in all we strive to provide for our great community.

Book Sales Support Way
Looking for great reads at amazing prices? Due to our ever-enlarging inventory, we now have an ongoing book sale on the library’s lower level. You can buy books during library open hours at dramatically reduced prices. Inventory consists of thousands of books including fiction (hardcover and paperback), children’s books, inspirational, religious, cookbooks, and large print. In addition, we have recently added a large selection of DVDs, Blu-rays and Music CDs.
While you are here, don’t forget to check out our “Specials” racks in the main lobby. These “like new” hot titles are available every day at prices that can’t be beat. New titles added daily.
Now Hear This!
Way Library is pleased to announce the release of the book, Now Hear This! Perrysburg Veterans in War and Peace. It was written by Local History Librarian, Richard Baranowski.
The book contains 71 stories of local veterans talking about their life in the service. The book was largely transcribed from personal interviews over the past 15 years, including many who fought in WWII. Now Hear This! also contains more than 200 wonderful photographs of our local veterans.
Another fine history book for Perrysburg! Put it on your Christmas list!
You can now order the book for $27.00 plus $5.00 for shipping (total: $32.00). Alternatively, you can purchase the book at the Way Public Library Information Desk.

A strong public library is the foundation upon which a community can preserve the past, empower lives today, and build for the future.
Our goal is to continue to provide support:
- for projects that encourage children and young adults
- to cultivate a life-long enthusiasm for reading and learning
- to continue to support collections, programs, and services
- to act as advocates to ensure that library services continue on into the future.
Whether donating online, through the mail or in person, you can always specify where you would like your donation to be put to best use.
The Way Public Library Foundation & Friends is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization founded by a group of citizens who understood that a strong public library would not be possible through public funding alone
