Your support helps us build a stronger, more connected community through literacy, learning, and opportunity.

Donations While the Stratford Public Library receives much of its funding from public sources, we are also fortunate to receive additional financial support from generous people like you. All donations of over $10 receive a tax-deductible receipt.

Your donations make a real impact on our community in meaningful ways:

Community Support

- Funding our community Snack Stop food pantry, ensuring no one goes hungry

- Supporting programs that connect neighbours and build relationships

Learning & Literacy

- Creating the SPL MakerSpace where community members explore new skills and technologies

- Providing literacy programming that nurtures a lifelong love of reading

- Offering free Internet access and digital resources for all

Space & Facilities

- Renovations to our library auditorium and children's floor

- Building toward addressing our significant space deficit through our capital fund for a new facility

From lending books and connecting people virtually to hosting programs that spark curiosity and change, the Stratford Public Library makes a difference in our residents' lives every day.

Every donation, large or small, helps us continue building a library that serves as the heart of our community. Your $20 donation stocks the Snack Stop for one day, your $50 donation helps fund outreach literacy programming for children in the community, while larger gifts help us dream bigger for Stratford's future.

Our mission We are an equitable, safe, and welcoming community where everyone can explore, learn, create, connect, and be inspired.

Our vision We are a place where hope and wonder fly. We envision a library which connects people; inspires learning, literacy, and curiosity; and sparks change for a better community.

Thank you for investing in Stratford's future.
