Why Give?
 

You may not even use the library yourself, but we’ll bet you that someone you know does.

Young families and preschoolers gather at the library each week, learning about the importance of reading and learning to interact with one another other.

You may have children or grandchildren who use the library —who come here after school as a warm and safe place to be until its time to go home.

Maybe your friends or family enrich their lives with book club gatherings or other library programs.

Perhaps your grandparents enjoy our extensive large print collection of current and popular titles.

Add To Our Endowment Fund
 

If you prefer, you can earmark your financial gift to our endowment fund.

In 2005 the Washburn Public Library created an endowment fund from a substantial gift given at that time.

The goal is get the fund to $100,000—money in the bank in the case of an emergency.

As of January, 2018 our endowment fund contains about $65,000.

The hope is that this money will be a safeguard so that a library can and will exist forever in Washburn.
