Sponsor a Library Program

We welcome interest from community groups, organizations, or individuals.

Library staff will be happy to talk with you about the types of programs available for sponsorship.

Sample Program Packages:

Sample #1 - A $100-$500 donation will pay for a special event for either children or adults. (Examples: author visit, writing workshop, clown, storyteller, magic show, materials)

Sample #2 - $300 will allow us to do an 8-week children's program series (once weekly) at the public library.

Sample #3 - $2,000 will allow us to offer three 10-week children's program series (once weekly) plus several special events for children.

The above are examples only. Any size cash donation is welcome. Cash donations to assist with a program will be used first to fund or expand existing programs. These programs include, but are not limited to, bedtime story time for babies and toddlers, toddler and preschooler programs; after-school programs; art programs; teen programs; the Summer Reading Club; author visits; and book discussion groups.

If you, your group or organization is interested in sponsoring library programs, ask about a presentation by library staff to discuss what we can do with your gift! We will acknowledge all sponsors during the program and we can issue tax-deductible receipts for any donation.
