Support Your Library

Libraries are more than buildings with books—they are community hubs that inspire learning, bring people together, and create opportunities for a better future.

Libraries help people of all ages read and learn. Storytimes inspire children to love books. Classes and programs help teens and adults build reading and writing skills. With free books, computers, and helpful staff, libraries make learning possible for everyone in the community.

Libraries are places where people connect. They bring neighbors together for events, classes, and activities. People can meet friends, work on projects, or join clubs. Libraries welcome everyone, creating a safe space to share ideas and learn from each other.

Libraries give people the tools they need to succeed. They offer help with job searches, homework, and learning new skills. People can use computers, take classes, or explore new interests. Libraries open doors to a brighter future for everyone.

Looking to leave a lasting legacy? Consider making a planned gift to the Library District. Your support can help ensure that future generations have access to books, resources, and opportunities for lifelong learning.

Cash gifts are the simplest and common form of giving. For those who itemize deductions, donations made to the District are tax-deductible.

Volunteer your time, talents, and efforts to promote and support the Library District's goals.

Volunteers are essential to the library, helping us provide better service to our patrons. They assist with a wide range of tasks, making a real difference in our community.
