Ways to Give
Gifts of Money
Support your community library with a monetary gift. Gifts of money will help fund materials, programs, and projects to serve the community above and beyond what the tax-based funding can provide. You can make a monetary donation at the bottom of this page, or contact the library and speak to Suzann Holland, Library Director.
Tribute Donations
Gifts are a wonderful way to honor the memory of a loved one or to mark a special occasion, such as a birthday, anniversary, or graduation. An acknowledgement of the gift can be sent to the honoree.
