The Foundation Funds

The Main Fund

The main fund supports major library projects, including upgrades like the front lobby doors and other capital improvements. All fundraising for this fund is dedicated to enhancing and improving Library facilities.

The Patti Perkins Fund

Established in the memory of the Library's former Circulation Department Manager, Patti Perkins, donations to this fund add to the collection of materials related to general health issues with an emphasis on women’s health. Since its inception, over $15,000 worth of books, audiovisual materials, and programming have been supplied to the Library from the Patti Perkins Fund.

General Meetings

The Foundation usually meets on the 4th Monday every other month at 4:45 p.m. in the East Conference Room. All are welcome!
