Donate

This page focuses on donations made to our Friends of the Library to benefit the Addison Public Library. If you would like to learn more about donating directly to the library, visit the section on gifts in our Public Services Policy.

Monetary Donations to the Friends

A donation to the Friends can be a special way to commemorate a birthday, special occasion, or the memory of a loved one. A plaque near the entryway identifies the generous donations. Email friends@addisonlibrary.org for more information. 

Levels of giving

  • $1500 for a hanging sculpture
  • $250 for an engraved plaque

Any level of monetary donations is greatly appreciated and can be made online as well.
