Create a Legacy

One of the most extraordinary gifts we can receive is one that helps sustain the library for future generations. Designate a gift in your estate plan or establish an endowment fund in your name or the name of a loved one. 

Sunday Sponsorship

Our Sunday Sponsorship program is an opportunity for individuals and organizations to support the library in a tangible way. The Main Library is open 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Per hour, it is one of our busiest days of the week. We are committed to preserving Sunday hours, but in this era of tight budgets, we must rely on private giving to help bridge the gap.
