We need your support

It’s the generosity of donors that allows us to expand our programs and collections. Every time you visit the Library, you’re benefiting from the contributions of those who believe in our mission.

Throughout the years, donations both large and small have helped to transform the West Lafayette Public Library from a tiny subscription-only library housed in a firehouse to a beautiful two-story structure with more than 150,000 items in our collection.

Resources for the local community

Today, the Library’s free services reach not only to the residents of West Lafayette but all residents of Tippecanoe County and many areas of Indiana, thanks to reciprocal borrowing agreements and the cardholders of the Evergreen Indiana Consortium. Our patrons enjoy the use not only of printed, audio and visual material, computer access, reference and informational services, but of over 400 yearly programs for children, teens, and adults. 

Contributing to the future

As we look to the future, the Library will continue to expand its collections and extend its services, due in large part to contributions from the public.

When you donate to the West Lafayette Public Library, you have the opportunity to play an active role in helping to further build and maintain the Library in the years to come.
