Dear WFL Community,

I have exciting news to share! Thanks to you, we met our end of year giving goal! We asked for your support in raising $150,000 by December 31st and you delivered with enthusiasm and generous year end gifts. Thank you! Thank you!

Your gifts allow us to sustain and extend the programs and services you count on while growing our thoughtfully curated collections. Meeting this funding goal also opens time and space for us to focus on strengthening WFL for decades to come.

Time takes a toll on beautiful old buildings and we have some big projects coming up. Two generous friends of the library have sponsored a comprehensive needs assessment currently underway. So far, we know we need enhanced moisture control in the basement, improved exterior drainage, and exterior painting and roof replacement are on the horizon. As the scope of work comes into clearer focus, we will share ways to join this community effort.

It is thanks to our long history of community support that we will be marking our 129th year in this building this July. Thank you for being part of our present and future.

With appreciation,

Molly
