For over 100 years, the Windsor Public Library has been a
community meeting place to exchange ideas, information and to
explore the world beyond the boundaries of Windsor and Essex
County.
With more than 100,000 active library users, over 55 percent
of our community uses, depends and thrives on library
services. We log close to 1.5 million visits annually -
approximately 13 for each active library card holder.*The Windsor Public Library provides a world of information, learning and entertainment.
We are unique - the Windsor Public Library has something to offer for everyone!

Add your favorite books to our collection with a
donation to the Light the Future Now! Campaign
Donors are also invited to work with Windsor Public Library
in designating special areas of interest.
Monies raised through your generosity do not replace core
funding, but rather enhance the special programs and services
we provide.
Our goal is to improve the services and programs we provide.
However, as our funding is limited, we need to ask for your
support.
The annual Light the Future Now! Campaign helps us add to our
collections and research materials and provide resources that
would otherwise not be available.
Your support ensures that Windsor Public Library remains your
community gateway to knowledge through the “Universal Access
to a Universe of Ideas”.
When you complete the RSVP slip and mail it with your
donation, you'll be supporting a community institution that
is valued by each and every citizen of Windsor.
You may designate your gift to help fund current needs or
direct it toward a library branch. We welcome gifts to support
purchases, services and programs. Unrestricted gifts provide
us with the flexibility to select areas of greatest need.
Here are some examples of our average
costs:
• $35 for 2 children's picture books
• $50 for 2 best selling novels
• $75 for 2 DVD films
• $100 for a new edition of a standard
reference book
• $150 for 2 large print books for the
