Here’s a list of all the fun ways we fundraise throughout the year.
Looking for more ways you can help?
-Monetary donations: Monthly, or ongoing donations are even better.
-Talk to your commissioner for your municipalities about how great the library is and ask them to consider increasing funding.
-Attend one of our upcoming events!
-Let us know of any corporations in our area that are looking to give back to their community!
