The Time is Now to Start Planning Our Children’s Future

Did you know that:

  • The last time that the Children’s Department was spruced up was 18 years ago?
  • The space that houses our book collection and meeting space for Children/Young Adults and their families is in dire need of repair and renovation?
  • Our homework center is sorely lacking adequate study space and technology to help our young patrons stay academically competitive?
  • Nearly 100,000 patrons use the Children’s and Young Adult Department each year?

It’s no wonder that our paint is peeling, our carpets are fraying and our bookshelves are collapsing!

A new generation of children and young adults deserve a state-of-the-art youth library.

We need YOUR support to make this dream come true. Please join our 2010 Annual Fund. The money you donate will go directly towards renovations and technology upgrades for the Children’s and Young Adult Department.

Your tax deductible support of $10, $25, $100 or more will ensure that Forbes Library is equipped to offer our children all of the tools that they need to succeed in a clean, healthy environment.
