Donate to make a difference: Library Programs and New Collections
The library budget does not include funding for library programs or new collections. With your help, we can expand our programs and add new collections to our library. Examples of new collections would be a new database, a musical instrument library, or a tool library.
We have no administrative fees, all donations fund the purpose as described.
The Friends of the Library are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
