Gifting Your Community
 As the time for holiday giving approaches, please consider gifting your community by adopting a book at your library for all to enjoy. 

It’s easy! Tell us what title you would like to add to the library’s collection or ask us for a recommendation.  When the book arrives, we will

notify you, collect payment (library discount applies), and let you be the first to read your donation. Other readers will appreciate your thoughtfulness and you’ll receive a tax deduction.
