Friends Liaison, Amy Rousselow, accepts this year’s Friends Annual Gift in the amount of $30,000 from Board President Mike Herman & Board Treasurer, Sandy Toneff. The presentation of funds to the library is traditionally made at the Friends Annual Meeting, but due to Covid-19, the organization did not hold this meeting.
Friends members offer financial and volunteer support and are crucial to the programs and services the library provides our community. Funds are primarily raised through membership dues, basement book sales, proceeds from the Friends Used Book Shop, book sales on Amazon.com and eBay, and printing and copying revenue. Friends were also fortunate to receive a large gift from the Gallagher Family Foundation.
On behalf of the Library’s Board of Trustees and staff, thank you to our library
volunteers that work tirelessly to raise funds for the library and give their time to support the library’s outreach and programming endeavors. Also, we would like to thank the over 150 members of Friends of the Waterloo Public Library whose financial support enables the library to be a resource for information, education, and recreation in our community.
