October, 2024

Dear WVPL Partner:

I hope this letter finds you well and thriving. As we look back on the past year, I am filled with immense gratitude for your unwavering support and enthusiasm for our beloved library. Thanks to your generosity, we have successfully completed the long-awaited renovation of our Main Library’s roof, ensuring that our library remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone in our community.

But as we celebrate this milestone, we also look forward with excitement to the next chapter in our library’s journey. Our mission to provide a vibrant, inclusive space for learning, collaboration, and community engagement is far from over. With the roof renovation behind us, we are now turning our attention to the Main Library’s exterior and interior where several important upgrades are needed to better serve our patrons.

Here’s what we’re envisioning for the next phase of our renovation:

Improved Parking Lot: To make our library more accessible, we will also be upgrading our parking lot, enhancing both its safety and convenience.

Updated Bathrooms: We understand the importance of accessibility and comfort. Renovating our bathrooms will ensure they meet contemporary standards and are welcoming for everyone who visits.

Expanded Study Rooms and Conference Spaces: To accommodate the growing needs of students, professionals, and community groups, we plan to build additional study rooms and modern conference spaces. These areas will provide quiet, comfortable environments for focused work, group collaboration, and community meetings.

 

 

 

We are excited about the potential these upgrades will bring, but we can’t do it alone. Your continued support is vital to bringing these plans to fruition. Every contribution, no matter the size, will directly impact the quality of services and resources we can offer to our community. To help us move forward, please consider making a donation to our annual appeal.
