Honor Someone & Support Your Library Support the library and honor someone special with a suggested donation of $20 to the library’s Endowment Fund. We will honor the designated person by placing a decorative bookplate imprinted with their name inside the front cover of a book. Arrangements may be made to dedicate other library materials as well. Donors can designate the general subject or a library staff member will help choose an appropriate topic. It’s a great way to pay tribute to special anniversaries, school or sports honors, birthdays, weddings or memorials. The Endowment Fund is a sustaining fund designed to enhance programs and library services. It is supported by gifts from generous individuals, businesses and organizations. For more information, or to honor someone, contact 219-873-3049.
