Donate Today!

When a large Sycamore tree fell against our building, damaging the roof and temporarily displacing us, we didn't miss a beat because this community kept us going through every lap around the track.

The slider above captures those fateful first days and the initial cleanup. It stands as a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come, and how hard we’ve worked to keep serving you. Thanks to your unwavering support, we’ve successfully navigated a full year of cleanup, planning, and off-site programs.

As we rebuild, we’re creating a fresh new look and a more welcoming, accessible layout designed to enhance everyone’s library experience.

This year, our Annual Appeal aims to raise $25,000 to restore what was lost and build an even better community library. Your generosity will help replace children’s toys, craft supplies, bookshelves, story time equipment, and a water cooler. Donations will also help cover the cost of new flooring, story time rugs, and the extended storage of our book collection beyond what insurance covers.
