The library board and staff would like to thank all of the patrons who responded to our fundraiser letter and made a donation. You can see a copy of it in the most recent edition of the Whitehall Township newsletter, read it on our website or pick up a copy at the front desk of the library.

It is not too late to donate. Once a year, we do a fundraiser letter to help us with the children and adult programs we do at the library. Donations can be made via check, PayPal or credit card while in the library.
