A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR
To the People of Williams County,
Thank you. That is the message at the heart of this year’ s report. Everything we accomplished in 2024 was made possible by the trust and support you continue to show your library.
When voters renewed our levy, it was more than just a financial decision. It was a clear message that the people of this county believe in the importance of public libraries. Your support allows us to remain open six days a week, offer free programs for all ages, and continue providing the resources our communities count on.
This past year, we also secured the future site for the Pioneer Branch, which marks a major step forward in serving the northern part of the county. We expanded our local history collection and began the process of digitizing our photographic archive, as well as our newspaper microfilm, to help preserve and share the stories that define this county. We strengthened our partnerships with schools, civic groups, and local organizations to build a stronger network of service and support.
In an effort to be as transparent as possible about the work we do, this report includes an overview of our finances, highlights from each of our branches, and key statistics from 2024. It reflects the reach and impact of the library throughout the county and gives you a look at what your support has helped us accomplish.
Whether you voted, donated, volunteered, attended a program, or simply stopped in to browse the shelves, thank you. This is your library. We are proud to serve you and look forward to what lies ahead.
See you at the library,
Dylan Wagner
