THANK YOU! A gift to the Addison Public Library can provide individuals, families, and organizations the unique opportunity to honor a loved one, bring recognition to a specific entity, or remember someone with a memorial. Giving opportunities can be designed to meet the specific needs of the donor and will be recognized in both library and community publications. Your contribution combined with other generous donations make it possible for the library to continue its mission through enhancing our library’s offerings. Your donation is deeply appreciated. Donors can either come in to the library in person to discuss suggestions for subjects and type of book with library staff. Or, use the form link provided to print a form and mail it with your check. A bookplate will be inserted in the book listing both the donor and honoree’s names. Typically, a gift of $25.00 will purchase a book. Thank you for choosing the Addison Public Library as recipient!
