Tiffin-Seneca Library Foundation

The Tiffin-Seneca Library Foundation was established to help provide a secure future for the library. Excellence in library collection and services is particularly important as we approach the 21st century. Since the library first opened its doors in May of 1880 as a simple reading room, the public has come to expect a high level of library service. Endowments and major gifts to the foundation will provide funds for valuable programs and purchases for the library which may become more difficult with shrinking tax revenues.

You may designate how your foundation gift will be used. You may want to discuss your wishes with the library director. If, on the other hand, you have no designation, the board will use the income from the gift for existing projects, collection development, or equipment which will benefit the residents of Seneca County.
