Commemorative Bricks and Contributions
Create a lasting legacy within our community by making a contribution to The Friends. Donations allow The Friends to fund programs and activities which offer a lifetime of learning opportunities for everyone!
There are several ways to contribute to The Friends:
Commemorative Bricks
Commemorative bricks are a wonderful way to mark a special occasion or memorialize loved ones. These handmade ceramic bricks, which can be inscribed with a signature or a printed name and message, are permanently displayed on the Signature Wall at the Main Library. Bricks may be purchased for $100.

Program Funding
Programs for children, teens or adults may be underwritten with a gift of $200 or more. Whether at the Main Library or a designated branch library, the program’s promotional materials acknowledge the donor.
Grants, Bequests, and Donations
Grants, bequests, and donations may be made to The Friends or to the Library’s own foundation. Named trusts can be set up for larger gifts. Expendable and nonexpendable trust funds can be used for program support, collection development, special equipment purchases or other needs.
Memorial Gifts
All gifts made in honor or memory of an individual will be promptly acknowledged to the person or their family by letter.
