JCPL Extends Thanks for Gifts and Donations

At the Jasper County Public Library we strive to be a leader in our community, to provide information, recreation, cultural offerings, and lifelong learning opportunities for our citizens.

Our goal is to offer traditional library services while keeping pace with new methods of storing and transferring information and knowledge. We strive to provide the programs and services that are most needed in our community.

Indiana public libraries are funded primarily by county property taxes, but in addition to that revenue, we often receive monetary gifts from you. Those gifts are deposited into the Library Gift Fund of your choice; DeMotte, Rensselaer, or Wheatfield, and are used to purchase books, AV materials, magazine subscriptions, furniture and equipment, as well as program prizes and refreshments. Your gifts also support adult and children’s programs.

In addition, many of you support the library with your time as you actively volunteer or become a member of one of our Friends of the Library groups. We greatly appreciate your monetary gifts and the other wonderful ways you support your library. We couldn’t do all the things we do without your support!

As we wrap up 2010 we want to take this time to thank you for supporting your library with your gifts; your gifts of time and money. You make it possible for us to inform, enrich, and empower our diverse community, and we are grateful!
