Donate to make a difference.
Your donation supports the many valuable resources and services the Elting Library offers the community.
Dear neighbor,
Whether you attend our great author talks or children's story times, or you need to use the library for a quiet place to study, the Elting Memorial Library is here to serve you. Maybe you come to peruse new books, pick up old favorites, or get help with tech support and passport services. In whatever way you need to access information, share ideas with one another and find resources you need, we’re happy to help.
At Elting, essential things add up. We’re working to keep our collection current, to maintain our historic building, and to repair and replace furniture and equipment. These challenges are also opportunities to reassess our services and make improvements for our library. Please know that your support at this time helps us to make a difference for everyone who enjoys the library. We are wholly grateful that you are a part of the Elting community!

President, Board of Trustees
Ways You Can Support Your Library
Public funding enables the Elting Memorial Library to be a responsive community resource; the private donations of a generous, dedicated community make our Library an exceptional resource for all!
Donors are recognized, unless anonymity is requested. Donations may be made online, by mail, or in person. We accept all major credit cards, checks payable to the Elting Memorial Library, or cash. Contributions to the Elting Memorial Library, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Annual Fund
Public funds alone do not provide for the many programs and services our constituents require. Your donation, whatever the amount, helps us to meet the informational, educational, cultural, and entertainment needs of the community. You may designate your contribution for a specific service area or program, if you so choose.
Memorial Gifts
Consider making a donation in honor or memory of a friend or loved one. We will inform the individual or family of your thoughtful gesture. Another option is to purchase a new books for the Library from one of our two wishlists, the Raymundo Jackson Memorial Fund or Children’s Library Fund.
Charitable Bequests
Designating the Elting Memorial Library as a beneficiary in your will ensures an exceptional Library for future generations. Bequests (and other forms of planned gifts) have an enduring impact on Library programs and services and provide for long-term growth.
