Donate Now

  • Donating is easy and your gift means more now than ever.

 

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.

Donate Now

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


Annual Campaign 

Thank you for your support of the 2022-2023 Annual Campaign. Your tax-deductible donation gives us the ability to make a positive impact on the community through funding of the many outstanding services and programs offered at Way.

No matter the amount, your tax-deductible donation to Way helps to strengthen our services. If you are able, will you consider making a donation today? From large gifts to our endowment to donations to our Annual Campaign, every gift is vital to the continued success of Way Library. Your thoughtful donation may be made online or to WPLFF, 101 East Indiana Avenue, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551.

We are grateful for a community that has funded, volunteered, celebrated, and advocated for Way Library through the years. Now, more than ever, your support matters, and we truly thank you!

Leave a Legacy 

Making a bequest to the Way Public Library Foundation & Friends not only is a sign of benevolence, but also is the mark of your desire to help shape the future.

The proceeds of any planned gift can be unrestricted, allowing the Foundation to meet the needs of the Way Public Library as they arise, or can be restricted, offering a way for you to support a program or area in which you are particularly interested.
