The library features two unique museums built with generous donations; the Hal Manders Baseball Museum opened in 2009 and the Ori Coal Mine Museum opened in 2012. The Waukee Public Library is a city department and the majority of funding comes from the city through property taxes. The library also receives funding from Dallas County and the State of Iowa based on certain usage statistics.
