Support the Library

Why support the library?

CCPL is a civic institution that provides crucial learning services ‘beyond books.’  The Friends are proud supporters of CCPL and their mission of helping customers transform information into usable knowledge. Donations to the Friends of any amount are always welcome and provided CCPL with supplemental funding to purchase materials of all kinds, produce library programs, fund staff training opportunities, and provided other tools and equipment.

Large donations can also be designated for specific CCPL material collections such as children’s young adult, a designated fiction genre or a nonfiction topic.  Smaller donations can be used to purchase a Memorial Book.  A book in the library is a wonderful way to honor someone else as a memorial gift or to celebrate a life event, such as a birthdate, anniversary, or retirement.  The library will purchase the book and add a bookplate with your specified inscription.  If your donation is in memory of someone, we will notify the family about the gift.

Why Donations Are Important

Why give? Don’t my tax dollars support the library? Supplemental funding helps address and support unmet needs of the community.

Your library tax contribution is $26.18 per person for the whole year. This consists of 1% of the county budget.

Helping Us Help You

Citizens of Chesterfield County are seeking more from our libraries, and these advanced services are not fulfilled through county funding. Development Services directs contributions toward special projects, materials, facilities, and programs benefiting the community that the library could not otherwise afford through its annual operating budget.
