…help keep the library thriving…

Make a Donation to the Library

Did you know that nearly 20% of our annual operating budget comes from donations? That means every gift from our community—big or small—directly helps keep the library open, growing, and serving everyone who walks through our doors.

We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so your donations are tax-deductible and go straight to supporting the programs, resources, and spaces that make this library a special part of our community.

Why Give?

Your support helps us:

  • Add new books to our shelves, and provide access to ebooks and audiobooks

  • Offer free programs like Story Time, Movie Night, and after school clubs

  • Provide public access to computers, Wi-Fi, and technology help

  • Keep our building and playground safe and welcoming for everyone

Whether you visit us every week or just believe in the importance of libraries, your gift makes a real difference.
