Ways to Give

Did you know that only about half of Downingtown Library’s annual budget comes from governmental sources (municipal, county, and state) with the other half coming from private donations? We are so grateful for the donations our patrons give us year after year—we couldn’t do it without you! Contributions of every size add up to help our librarians choose materials, create programs, and improve our spaces.

There are many ways to give to the Downingtown Library: one-time or recurring donations to our Annual Giving Campaign; a dedicated gift to support children’s programming, adult programming, the purchase of materials for the borrowing collection, or for general supplies; sponsorship/attendance at annual fundraising events—all of these benefit the library.

Downingtown Library donors support the Library in these additional ways:

“Name a Shelf” program

You can also support the Downingtown Library through the “Name a Shelf” program! For $100, choose a shelf to honor a loved one or special event with your choice of inscription engraved on a brass label for a period of 1 year. For $1000, your shelf will be permanently dedicated. Please fill out the “Name a Shelf” sign-up form and either mail it back to Downingtown Library (122 Wallace Ave. Downingtown, PA, 19335) or email it to dodirector@ccls.org. You can pay by sending in a check or paying online here. Please choose “Name a Shelf- 1 year” or “Name a Shelf- lifetime” from the drop-down menu when paying online!

“Adopt a Book” program

Another unique gift opportunity that also supports the Downingtown Library is the “Adopt a Book” program: for $35, choose a new book with a bookplate inscribed with your choice of message! Please fill out the “Adopt a Book” sign-up form and either mail it back to Downingtown Library (122 Wallace Ave. Downingtown, PA, 19335) or email it to dodirector@ccls.org. You can pay by sending in a check or paying online here. Please choose “Adopt a Book” from the drop-down menu when paying online!
