Making an impact on our community
The Waverly Public Library Foundation is dedicated to community quality of life and commits its entire focus and resources toward support of our public Library.
ABOUT US
The Waverly Public Library (WPL) Foundation is the primary group established to receive Library gifts.
The WPL Foundation serves as a development organization which helps raise money to expand Library services and materials, and as a fund custodian to oversee management, investment, and use of Library gifts and bequests.

Thank you!
Our Priorities
The Waverly Public Library is a community cornerstone. By making a gift to the Library’s Foundation, you can help ensure our Library serves the kids, teens, and adults of Waverly for years to come.
Children
Children by the thousands
attend story time and
other programs, sparking
young imaginations and
curiosity.
Adults
Adults are joining
innovative activities, while
always nostalgic for quiet
places to relax with a good
book.
Our Generous Donors
Check out the list of generous annual donors to the Foundation and donors to our recent building and bookmobile projects. The WPL Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization registered with the IRS and State of Iowa, which means your charitable contributions are typically tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Make Room For Renewal
In 2022, a project began to renew our much-loved community Library space, so it could continue its long tradition of providing room for everyone.
Thanks to the generosity of the public, this $2.9M Make Room for Renewal effort successfully renovated the entire Waverly Public Library, inside and out.
The renewed Library reopened in November of 2024, with more room for kids, teens, adults, and the entire community. Today’s Library is now ready to serve Waverly far into the future.
“The Waverly Library meets the multi-generational and multi-cultural needs of our community. There are programs, materials, technology and fun – literally something for everyone!”
– Deanna McCue, WPL Foundation President
