The Wallingford Public Library, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, receives the majority of its operating funding from the Town of Wallingford. Additional support from generous donors like you allows the library to provide an outstanding collection of materials to borrow, stimulating programs for people of all ages, access to state-of-the-art technologies, and a world-class facility.
Donate to the Library Development Fund
The Library Development Fund was established in 1977 to provide materials, public programs, and physical improvements beyond the scope of the funds provided by the Town of Wallingford. The fund is used at the discretion of the Library Board of Managers to purchase equipment, introduce new services, and strengthen existing programs and collections. The library is eligible to receive corporate matching gifts.

Planned giving may include a simple bequest in your will or the donation of trusts, appreciated securities, life insurance, and retirement plans. A bequest costs nothing now and gives you the satisfaction of knowing you are sustaining the Wallingford Public Library into the future.
