My Gift Multiplies
I am convinced that every dollar I give the library multiplies and spreads throughout my community with technology, programs, Dolly Parton Imagination Library, LAP bus, Curious Kids programs, and most importantly a place full of people who care about each person they interact with on zoom, on the phone, in person, or giving high fives in youth services.

Incredible Opportunities
I very vividly remember when I was a young girl going to the bookmobile in the summer with my sisters and getting books to read as well as the summer challenges that the library developed for us. I always participated in them. And now, as an adult, I understand the incredible opportunities the library affords all our community's children throughout the year. The library is such a remarkable resource for our community. That is why I give.

Creating Opportunities
To us, donating to the Library Foundation means that my family has created opportunities for education and growth that would otherwise not be available to our community. From the smile on a kids face when they experience the wonder of learning to the twinkle in the eye of our Red Carpet Patrons when they get their latest set of books our small contribution helps change someone’s world.
