Contribute to the library’s 100th Anniversary campaign to restore the original woodwork on the building exterior, which is in desperate need of restoration and painting. It was last repainted in the late 1970s after a community fundraising campaign. 

We are still working on getting bids for this work, but we know there is at least $100,000 worth of work to be done. What we can do will depend on community donations and grants. Any additional funds raised will go toward other critical building projects.

We hope to ‘crowdfund’ this campaign with many $100 donations.

We also hope some individuals and businesses who can give more will give larger gifts.

There are many other ways we can receive contributions.
