The Friends of the Waterford Public Library are donors and volunteers who support the development of library services and programs in the Waterford area community. We do this by collecting annual membership fees, helping library staff with various projects and planning special fundraising events. And we also manage the Friends Shop located in the library. Proceeds from all of these efforts are used to supplement the library\u2019s annual operating budget.<\/p>\n

As always, it will continue to be our mission to enhance Waterford Public Library collections and programs. We will be looking for fun and creative new ways to do that. If you are willing to participate in this worthy cause, please join us today by simply filling out the membership form below and paying your annual membership fee. All contributions are tax deductible. Contact Jessica Kiesler at jkiesler@waterford.lib.wi.us<\/a> with any questions.<\/p>\n
