BIRTHDAY FUND RAISING
The library will be celebrating its fourth birthday this July 2nd. As we hope many of you know, the city provides our space, but we must raise funds to cover all operating expenses (including heat, electricity, etc.), purchase of new materials, and an endowment fund that will be used to ensure the future of the library. The budget is bare-bones: it has been around $15,000 for three years. Of this amount, $5,000 is used to purchase new materials, including all those best sellers that everyone enjoys. Many of you will be receiving a letter asking for support; if you don't receive a letter, please consider making a donation to support the library. Believe us when we say, "Every donation is important, it doesn't matter the amount!" You can send a check to the library, 4638 County Road 11, Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 or you can come by - if we're not open, there is a wonderful drop slot available.
