Foundation for the Indian Trails Library District

Why Donate?  DONATE

The Indian Trails Public Library gets approximately 90% of its funding through property taxes. Unlike other governmental entities, such as parks or school districts, the library does not have a revenue stream or charge fees for services other than recouping the cost of materials for special programs. 

Fortunately, the library has a foundation that actively raises funds for requested items and helps advocate for the library in the community. In the past, the library has purchased:

• Books to be given out to children for reading programs
• Expansion and enhancement of the Reading Garden
• Launch Pad on the Go Kits
• Sewing machines for classes

The Foundation raises funds through

• Used book sales
• Annual appeal – Youth Sensory Wall
• Special events
• Restaurant givebacks

IN 2023

The Foundation funded

• Prize books for year-round reading programs
• ESL (English as a second language) learning modules
• High school book discussion books
• Maker-In-Residence program funding
• Giveaway books for middle school visits

Consider making a donation today to support your library. To make a donation in person, please contact  Jen Schmidt or call 847.279.2222.
