Donor Recognition

Philanthropic gifts support the library's 150 year legacy and support its longtime commitment to give the community more. This means more programs, more learning opportunities, more speakers, and more materials to meet the needs of the community for generations to come.

We offer a variety of donor recognition levels. To learn more about donor recognition or to become a donor, contact Jessica McClure, Director of Development, at (419) 352-5104 ext. 232.
