There are numerous creative ways to make a charitable donation to the Library:
Memorial Fund
A donor may give a gift of cash and specify how the funds may be used. Usually these funds are spent on books, but they may also be used for specific programs or furniture. An attractive sticker is placed on the outside and a colorful bookplate with the donor’s message on the inside.
Adopt-An-Author
If you have a favorite author you may adopt him or her. Simply agree to pay the Library the price of the next book by that author. When it arrives you will be notified and given the privilege of borrowing the book first. The book will have a colorful bookplate with your name. A list of authors is available in the Library.
Adopt-A-Magazine
Patrons may fund a subscription to a magazine. There are over 100 titles to choose from. A bookplate with your name will be placed on the binder showing that you sponsored the magazine. This is great advertising for local businesses. A list of magazines is available in the Library.
