The library expansion project is complete, but we still need your support to help cover the outstanding construction costs and the costs of operating a bigger facility.

Each year, more than 40% of the Library's operating fund must be generated by our own fundraising efforts and more than a third of those dollars come in response to our annual appeal. For each of the past several years, fewer than 700 of our community's 5,100 families sent in donations. In order to maintain our bigger library and to enhance the services that our new building can provide, we must increase our annual support. The Library usually receives about $36,000 in response to the annual appeal. This year we've set $45,000 as our goal-a 25% increase.

Now more than ever, Helen Kate will rely on the support of annual donors. Will you join us in making a yearly donation to the Library?

You'll see your generosity reflected in the vitality of this important community institution as it begins a new chapter in its service to our community.
