How your donations help
From our beginning, donations from the public have helped Oshkosh Public Library rise to a level of excellence that cannot be achieved through tax funding alone. Donations have helped to:
- Purchase best-seller books and other materials.
- Refresh our technology offerings.
- Fund our Summer and Winter Reading Challenges for all ages. This includes providing enrichment opportunities for children and families that would not be possible otherwise.
- Set up the TeenZone area, build teen reading collections and offer author, technology and art programs for teens.
- Collect and publish digital collections of photos and community information that preserve Oshkosh history.
- Establish outstanding genealogy resources and research assistance.
