Strong libraries make stronger communities.
For 125 years, we’ve been building community connections, helping neighbors, and fostering understanding, learning, and joy.
This September, our goal is to raise $70,600 — the amount still needed to reach our $175,000 Milestone Matching Campaign goal. Through this campaign, with thanks to two generous Carnegie Carnegie donors, all donations will be MATCHED, dollar for dollar, in addition to the prorated match available through Love Your Library!
The Love Your Library match is generously provided by the Jack Buncher Foundation with additional support from the NiSource Charitable Foundation and Columbia Gas. We are so grateful to these donors who will help leverage every gift to the Library & Music Hall this month, making your donation go so much further in supporting our mission and programs over the next year! There has never been a better time to give to the Carnegie Carnegie!
PLUS: during Love Your Library month, all donors receive their choice of donation rewards: any combination of a Love Your Library sticker, pin, lanyard, tote bag, and/or ACFL&MH key dish. Or, for a $30+ donation, choose one of our special 125th anniversary t-shirts, designed by members of our community! For t-shirts, fill out the order form below.
