Large Contributions & Estate Planning

For significant monetary or estate gifts, a conversation with the Executive Director ensures your gift aligns with both your intentions and the library’s goals. Such thoughtful contributions can profoundly impact the library’s future and legacy.

The Gift Fund

Contributions received by the library go into our Gift Fund, which has historically supported staff development, youth department programs, and much-needed facility improvements. Unrestricted gifts offer the library the greatest flexibility to address its evolving needs.

Endowment Fund

Donations to the Library Endowment Fund are carefully invested, providing a sustainable financial resource to support large-scale projects, consulting services, and unforeseen expenses, thereby securing the library’s mission to serve its community well into the future.

Considerable Assets

For gifts of significant assets, such as real estate, coordinating with the Executive Director ensures that such generous contributions are managed in line with the library’s strategic objectives.

Non-Monetary Contributions

The library welcomes gifts of all shapes and sizes. Non-monetary donations and volunteering through the Friends of the Library enrich our services and deepen our community ties.
