DONATE
The Friends of the Library offer numerous ways for community members and local businesses to provide financial support. Because of generous Friends in the Chippewa Valley, the Friends of the Library are able to provide support to library programs and services offered at the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library and run two self-funded literacy programs: Give a Kid a Book and Books for Babies.
Donation Options:
- Support the Friends of the Library by becoming a member or a community business partner.
- Support our children’s literacy programs by donating to Books for Babies or Give a Kid a Book.
- Ensure community literacy for years to come with a donation to the Friends of the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library Literacy Fund.
