Donations & Gifts

An investment in knowledge
always pays the best interest.

Recognition:

Any person or organization that donates $100 or more to cover the cost of equipment or materials or a major building feature will be recognized with a plaque. Name plates will be attached to appropriate furnishings when possible. The donation of a work of art, approved by the Board of Trustees, will be placed in an appropriate location within or without the Library. Gifts of equipment will be accepted by the Library Director.
