Contributions vital to our community’s library services. In 1953, a group of committed citizens founded the Lake Wales Library Association with the goal of building a public library. By 1960, our library was built. In 1991, members of the Lake Wales Library Association said, “Let’s expand our library”, and they did. In 2013 the growing membership again improved our library by funding Project Renovation, a remodeling of our 20,000 square foot building. With the help of your membership dollars our library’s impact on our community continues to grow. Each of you has played an important role in our accomplishments. You should feel justifiably proud. Some of the highlights from 2022 include: Sponsored two Lake Wales elementary schools’ 4th grade field trip to the 2022 Cracker Storytelling Festival, Janie Howard Wilson Elementary School and Babson Park Elementary School. Assisted library staff with professional memberships and educational opportunities. Funded a variety of library programs for children, teens, and adults including Lifelong Learning Classes for Adults. Sponsored the Tower Lane Pass program, a partnership with Bok Tower Gardens providing ten family passes to Bok Tower Gardens for one-week checkout to library patrons. Contributed to the Lake Wales Public Library’s books and materials budget. Supported United Way of Central Florida’s Success by Six ~ Dolly Parton Imagination Library. The LWLA’s sponsorship allows Lake Wales infants to receive a free book from birth until their fifth birthday. With your tax deductible membership renewal, we can do even more. https://www.lwlibraryassoc.org/home daily 1.0 2022-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ebe5237cdaa0001ea6091/1566918287613-32J15EWJCRZKGA2JMXX4/children+at+the+library.jpg Home - Here’s what Friends do… Raising funds to build the first Lake Wales Public Library in 1960 and to expand the library in 1991. Underwriting the cost of library summer programs for children, teens and adults. Providing adult lifelong learning classes, scholarly speakers, author programs and concerts. Funding for library staff training and development. Purchasing new books, eBooks and digital content for the Lake Wales Public Library’s collection. Digitizing early Lake Wales newspapers and archives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ebe5237cdaa0001ea6091/1566918545575-G59O0ANQXNYSS3SX7MD8/readers+at+the+library.png Home - How can you be a Friend? JOIN: Every dollar of membership dues supports the Lake Wales Public Library’s programs and services. LEGACY: Consider including the Lake Wales Library Association—Friends of the Library in your estate planning. A one-time gift for the development of a trust to be utilized for decades provides a significant impact. SPONSOR: A sponsorship of programs or events by your business or family directs your gift to a specific cause you have an interest in. VOLUNTEER: Volunteer for a single event or for tasks to assist the library’s staff on a scheduled basis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ebe5237cdaa0001ea6091/1566920808097-AL4UL10DPEOUA5EH2P6Z/library+groundbreaking.jpg Home - Why become a Member? Few non-profit organizations can claim that 100% of membership dollars received are used to support the operation of a service. The Lake Wales Library Association can. All donations, memberships, memorials or gifts from wills or trusts are used to support the programs and services provided by the Lake Wales Public Library. Membership in our organization results in excellent public library service to our community. https://www.lwlibraryassoc.org/our-board daily 0.75 2025-02-12 https://www.lwlibraryassoc.org/contactme daily 0.75 2019-10-17 https://www.lwlibraryassoc.org/membership daily 0.75 2019-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ebe5237cdaa0001ea6091/1571350322334-13ZW5JUCU6BMLD6Y0BY9/GiveWell_Nameplate_color.png Membership https://www.lwlibraryassoc.org/membership/p/pal monthly 0.5 2019-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ebe5237cdaa0001ea6091/1568908879554-ES70DZ3WN3AAHIWGVS5P/pal.png Membership - Pal https://www.lwlibraryassoc.org/membership/p/good-friend-kx2e5-3lrms monthly 0.5 2019-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ebe5237cdaa0001ea6091/1568908336011-ATGJ7L0ETJJTQ037E6XJ/best+friend.png Membership - Best Friend https://www.lwlibraryassoc.org/membership/p/good-friend-kx2e5 monthly 0.5 2019-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ebe5237cdaa0001ea6091/1568908311185-R9Z9NLI6CIU2HQLJNXYG/close+friend.png Membership - Close Friend https://www.lwlibraryassoc.org/membership/p/good-friend monthly 0.5 2019-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ebe5237cdaa0001ea6091/1568908290294-IVN9LDTDDEG14B7INSHF/good+friend.png Membership - Good Friend https://www.lwlibraryassoc.org/membership/p/good-friend-d4js4-4cklb-ynx3a monthly 0.5 2019-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ebe5237cdaa0001ea6091/1568908264493-M3XU18KMVI8O9ZMLFA0C/friend.png Membership - Friend https://www.lwlibraryassoc.org/membership/p/good-friend-d4js4-4cklb monthly 0.5 2019-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ebe5237cdaa0001ea6091/1568908244460-JZHSVO7OBE6SAXB72Z7B/buddy.png Membership - Buddy
