WE WELCOME YOUR DONATION
Donors have contributed a total of over $554,400 to fund the construction and campaign costs. Because of the generousity of our donors, there will be funds remaining after construction which will be used to establish an endowment for the Library's future. All donations are tax deductible. -- The library is a 501c3 entity.
