What is an Endowment?
How an Endowment Works

When you contribute to our endowment, your money is allocated towards long-term investments. The investment returns provide a consistent stream of income, allowing us to continue serving our community without relying solely on annual budget allocations. This means your contribution creates a lasting impact that extends far beyond a single year.

Leaving a Legacy

Your support can help build a stronger, more vibrant library system that serves our community for decades to come. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal of securing a bright future for learning and community engagement.
