WOMEN WITH WORDS
Women With Words is an initiative to sponsor the new Youth Gallery Wall at the Aram Public Library in Delavan. The concept is to celebrate women as a legacy of love – ourselves, mothers, sisters, grandmothers, daughters, and friends. The Youth Gallery Wall – almost 50 feet in length – connects the Adult, Makerspace and Children’s Areas together in the new building. A contribution is $500 with the honoree’s name featured on this prominent wall with an overall fundraising goal of $50,000.

There are Naming Opportunities for major donations. DAPLF is happy to give tours and provide information on currently available opportunities. If interested in a Naming Opportunity please indicate on the Pledge Form.
