Education & Libraries

GFWC promotes education for both children and adults. Projects in the Education and Libraries Community Service Program are designed to foster schools and other educational institutions and opportunities, and promote libraries, literacy, and reading good books. Through these efforts, we encourage the growth of individuals and communities at home and around the world. 

According to the American Library Association, GFWC is credited with founding approximately 474 free public libraries and 4, 655 traveling libraries. Supporting local libraries continues to be one of GFWC’s priorities today.
