The library, in partnership with the Waterloo Salvation Army, is hosting a winterwear donation drive! Throughout the month of November, we're collecting new mittens, gloves, hats, and scarves in all sizes. Because we have limited storage space, please do not donate coats.

All donated items will go to the Salvation Army to help keep our community warm this winter. Thank you for helping warm hearts and hands this season!

Friends of the Waterloo Public Library make more possible. ❤️📚

Behind many of the programs, events, and experiences that bring our community together are people who believe in the Library and choose to invest in its future.

During fiscal year 2025, the Friends contributed an incredible $51,000 to the Library through membership revenue, donations, and other support. Their generosity helped support 473 Library programs, creating opportunities for people of all ages to learn, connect, and explore.

From summer programs for kids and teens to year-round opportunities for people of all ages, Friends support helps turn an idea into an experience, and an experience into a memory.

These photos offer just a glimpse of what Friends' support helps make possible. ❤️
