Help us keep our library accessible and welcoming for years to come!

We’re so grateful for your support as we raise funds to modernize our elevator- a vital step in maintaining an accessible and welcoming facility for all members of our community.

Although our current elevator is still functional and code-compliant, many of its components are outdated and no longer manufactured. if these parts were to fail, repairs would be costly and could take months- disrupting access and services for many.

The total cost of the project is $141,000, and construction is scheduled to begin in early fall 2025, lasting 4-6 weeks. We are actively pursing grant opportunities to help fund the project, but we still need to raise $33,000 from our community to fully meet our goal. Through fundraising efforts thus far, we’ve raised $6,500 in community support!
