Support the library

Donor recognition

City Library’s donor recognition program aims to recognize and acknowledge the contributions of our many donors and supporters. All donations of $25 or more receive a charitable tax receipt, letter of thanks, recognition in the annual community report and on the website.

Donors may elect to remain anonymous and may decline private or public recognition.

Gratitude wall

Donations of $100 or more are displayed on the library’s gratitude wall, located inside the entrance to the library building. Eligible donors appear on the wall for a period of years following their donation. The wall panels are updated annually.
