Understanding the Impact of Your Donation
When you choose to donate, it’s natural to wonder where your money is going. Your generosity helps support multiple aspects of our library. Below are the primary areas that your contributions support:
- Programs
Your donations help fund a wide variety of programs that serve the community, providing valuable educational experiences and events that enrich our community and fulfill our mission of serving as a center for lifelong learning.
- Collections
Contributions are also directed towards expanding our collections. These items – whether they be books, DVDs, or board games – are an essential part of what we offer and we add to them on an ongoing basis.
- Maintaining Our Building as a Welcoming Space
Your gift also helps to ensure that our physical space remains welcoming, clean, and accessible to all who enter. We take great care to maintain the building as a comfortable environment that supports the programs and services we provide.
Ways You Can Contribute
There are a variety of ways you can support us:
- Monetary Donations
You can contribute monetarily online or by mail. Every dollar counts and goes directly towards supporting the programs, collections, and infrastructure that keeps the library thriving.
- Buy a Brick Fundraiser
Purchase an engraved brick paver in memory or honor of a loved one and we’ll install it along the edge of the patio. Our “Buy a Brick” fundraiser helps our Pay Down the Mortgage fund. Your donation will help reduce the financial burden of the building’s mortgage, ensuring that more of our resources are directed to our core mission.
- Amazon Wishlist
By buying an item from our Amazon Wishlist, you can donate physical items that we can use in our day-to-day operations. This is an easy way to give back in a tangible way.
- Workplace Giving Programs
Many workplaces offer giving programs, where donations can be made through payroll deductions or matching funds. Check with your employer to see if they offer such programs and support us in this easy and impactful way.
Your contributions are invaluable in helping us keep our programs running, expand our collections, and support a welcoming space for all. Thank you for supporting us in making a lasting difference!
