The holiday season is a time for traditions, and for many families, that means homemade cookies. The Friends of Oconomowoc Public Library are inviting community members to share their favorite homemade cookies and help make this year’s Cookie Walk Fundraiser 2026 a sweet success by donating homemade holiday treats.
The Friends are a volunteer organization dedicated to supporting the Oconomowoc Public Library through fundraising, advocacy, and community engagement. Funds raised by the Friends help provide programs, services, and special opportunities that enhance the library experience for visitors of all ages. Through their support, the Friends help fund initiatives such as Explore Passes, the Summer Reading Program, and care for Clementine, your Library’s bearded dragon ambassador.
Whether you’re known for sugar cookies, peanut butter blossoms, spritz cookies, fudge, candy, or another family favorite, your contribution can help support these valuable library resources and programs. Volunteer bakers are asked to donate 3–6 dozen homemade treats for the Cookie Walk.
To help shoppers make informed choices, baked goods should be packaged in disposable or recyclable containers and labeled with the type of cookie or treat, along with any important information such as the presence of nuts, gluten-free ingredients, or other dietary considerations.
Cookie donations may be dropped off at the Library between December 9 and December 11. As a thank-you for their generosity, participating bakers will receive one dozen free cookies at the sale.
The Cookie Walk Fundraiser 2026 will take place on Saturday, December 12, 9:30 am–12 pm. Shoppers can browse a wide variety of homemade holiday treats sold by the pound, making it easy to stock up for holiday gatherings, cookie exchanges, office celebrations, or simply a festive treat at home.
