Make a Donation
While local tax dollars support basic library expenses, such as library collections, staff salaries, utilities, and building maintenance, donations help us to develop and maintain quality events and services to encourage our community to read, learn, and grow. Gifts of any amount are welcome and will be used where the need is greatest unless designated for a specific purpose by the donor.

Make a Memorial or Honor Gift
A monetary donation for the purchase of collection materials is a thoughtful way to honor a loved one’s memory or acknowledge a special occasion or achievement.
Donors may suggest the subject areas or authors to be considered for purchase. Every effort will be made by our selectors to choose materials that will benefit the collection and please the donors. A gift or memorial bookplate will be placed in the item(s).
All library materials are subject to theft, damage, wear, and lack of use; we cannot guarantee that gift materials will remain a part of the collection forever. These items will be maintained on the same basis as other items in the collection.
