Donate online through PayPal

The Library welcomes monetary donations through PayPal, a secure website that accepts credit card payments. Donations can be made safely and easily through PayPal using your Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card. You do not need to have a PayPal account yourself – use ours!

Since the Library is a non-profit organization, your donation is tax-deductible. Please be aware that designation of how you would like your donation to be used is on the second page of the PayPal procedure.

If you have a specific desire, please note it in the space provided. Some examples of specific designations include purchasing books, supporting programming, and preserving the building.

Any donation will be greatly appreciated, whether it is $10, $50, $100 or more.
