Waverly Public Library Special Projects Committee to Accept Project Proposals

The Special Projects Committee, appointed by the Waverly Public Library Board, is accepting project proposals for funding consideration.  Funding for approved projects will come from the WPL Foundation.  Proposed projects should be consistent with the Library’s current goals in the areas of lifelong learning, information literacy, and the Library as a community commons.  It is the hope of this committee that many new projects will be generated that will be beneficial to the community through the public library.  Anyone in the community is welcome to submit a proposal.  Proposal forms can be downloaded from the Library website (see above link). Project proposals will be considered quarterly and are due at the Library on September 15th, December 15th, March 15th, and June 15th.  Please submit proposals to Waverly Public Library, Attn. Sarah Meyer-Reyerson, 1500 West Bremer Avenue (or email to smeyer@waverly.lib.ia.us).
