You might be surprised how often you'll find WCCF at your local library. 📚

Dorcas Carey Public Library Director Mandy Reinhart shares, "We have had several projects funded by the Wyandot County Community Foundation Grant Program since 2014, all of which are still used today! From network equipment and electronics to children’s sensory toys and STEM supplies, a makerspace cart for teens, and a Cricut machine for adult craft classes, patrons of all ages enjoy the benefits of WCCF’s generosity."

A library isn't simply a building filled with books - it's a place where a community learns, connects and discovers.

And that's worth investing in. ⭐
