We're very excited to host our fifth wine tasting fundraiser since 2020! Through wine tastings and the generosity of donors we have accrued funds for future support of Penfield Public Library initiatives while also providing special programming for our library patrons.

Funds raised through this event will go toward the eventual creation of an endowment, designed to provide long-term support for library initiatives.

The Penfield Public Library Foundation (PPLF), founded in 2019, is dedicated to enhancing long-term financial support for our library. The Foundation welcomes unrestricted donations through corporate matching gift contributions, estate bequests, endowments, and charitable planned giving. Honor and memorial gifts are also accepted. Your contributions support the development of the library’s resources beyond the annual funding from town taxes.

Since our founding, PPLF has enhanced the library by funding special services, including:

Brainfuse, an online program that provided individual support for school children and job seekers during the pandemic
Great Courses streaming
Craftsy streaming
A Zoom visit by children's author Paul Tobin and funds for the library to purchase additional Paul Tobin books
Kanopy, a free in-home streaming service of thousands of films for those with a Penfield Library card. This new service enables people to easily view critically acclaimed movies, documentaries, foreign movies and children's films on their own devices.

The Penfield Public Library Foundation is the library’s newest nonprofit support organization. For more than 40 years, the library has also been assisted by members of the Friends of the Penfield Public Library. The Friends, well known for their annual book sale, have supported quality library service since 1977.
