The Value of Investing in the Public Library
The Library Foundation turns to the
people who love the library, use it, and believe in its importance
as a community asset. Contributions are invested wisely to enhance
library services and may be designated by the donor for support of
specific program areas.
The public library today is a
local center where every member of the community can feel a sense
of ownership and opportunity. The public library serves as a place
for education, cultural exchange, recreation, and as a point of
access to the world itself. No other community program is designed
to serve all ages and all residents with this level of
opportunity. Investing in the public library pays dividends in
the well being of each individual and the community as a whole,
providing the community with the tools for growth and progress,
insight and tolerance, and an impetus for creativity. The
dividends on such an investment are unparalleled. |
