Leadership Investing in the Public Library About the Library
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.
