Support the library

Endowment Funds

Donations can be made to the library's endowment funds at the Watertown Area Community Foundation. 

  • B. Lorraine Case “Once Upon a Time” Fund – supporting educational events and children’s programming.
  • Watertown Regional Library Fund - furnishes a means for donors to provide assured long-term support for the library. 

Gifts to the endowment funds are managed by the Watertown Area Community Foundation to benefit Watertown Regional Library and cannot be used for other purposes. The fund is managed to preserve the principle in perpetuity, thus assuring legacy gifts will provide the long-term support intended by the donor.
