The East Peoria Woman’s Club recently donated two children’s books on fire safety to the library in memory of past member Dorothy Winston. Winston, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 100, was a long time supporter of the East Peoria Fire Department and its annual memorial service. Several East Peoria firefighters stopped by the library to acknowledge the contributions of both the club and Winston.

Fondulac District Library was established through the efforts of the East Peoria Woman’s Club in June 1935, and the club continues its support of the library today.

For information on how you can honor a family member or friend or on other opportunities to  support the library, please visit our Support the Library page or contact the library at (309) 699-3917.
