Giving Tree

Thinking of ways to honor that special friend, family member, or teacher? Please consider supporting the library through a Giving Tree donation this holiday season. The festive trees in our front lobby and youth reading rooms are adorned with gift tags that represent programs or items from our wish list. Just select a tag and take it to the circulation desk. If you’d like, we will provide you with a card for the honoree acknowledging your gift and put a brief dedication in the item.

It's easy to give online to the Giving Tree using the link on the left side of this page.Just put Giving Tree and any special requests for the donation in the comments.

If you'd like to offer input which will guide this next round of Kids in the Kitchen, please fill out this survey.
