The Washington Free Public Library Foundation has been in place since 1998 and is dedicated to take library services above and beyond what our tax dollars provide.

The "Foundation" helps the library provide educational, cultural and social enrichment for all residents of Washington and surrounding areas. Some the the ways the Foundation has done this in the recent past are:

• 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program
• Renovation of the children's book shelving
• Art acquisitions and framing
• Addition of several digital services : Kanopy streaming video, Mango Languages, Biblioboard, Beanstack
• LibraryConcert series.

Our Foundation also provides funds for staff education/enrichment.

The newest project the Foundation has underway is our New MakeIT Place opening in 2024!

If you would like to help us meet our goals, please consider making a contribution to one of the projects at the Washington Free Public Library that are supported by the Foundation.
