Every day, Wasaga Beach Public Library is strengthened by the generosity of our community. Whether through financial contributions, volunteering, in-kind donations, or advocacy, our supporters help create opportunities for learning, creativity, culture, and connection that enrich the lives of people of all ages.

Every gift—large or small—helps us expand programs, enhance collections, invest in new technologies, and create welcoming spaces where everyone can learn, discover, and belong.

If you’d like to help shape the future of your library, there are many ways to get involved.

Monetary Donations

Financial contributions help Wasaga Beach Public Library enhance programs and services, expand collections, invest in new technologies, and create new opportunities that benefit the entire community.

You can make a secure online donation through CanadaHelps, or donate in person at the library by cash or cheque.

Tax receipts are available for eligible donations of $20 or more.

While donors are welcome to express their preferences, the final allocation of all gifts and donations is at the discretion of the Wasaga Beach Public Library Board to ensure they have the greatest possible impact.

We’re grateful for the many wonderful community members who have expressed interest in volunteering with the Wasaga Beach Public Library. 

At this time, we are not accepting new volunteer applications due to current capacity limits and an ongoing program review. A public update will be shared when volunteer intake resumes. 

Thank you for your understanding and continued support! 

As a non-profit organization libraries rely on volunteers to fill many roles within our four walls.
