Annual Appeal Campaign The Annual Appeal is a yearly mailing to our community to ask for Library support. If you would like to donate to the Appeal and did not receive a letter in the mail, please contact the Library’s Administrative Assistant, who will add you to the mailing list. You may also donate to the Appeal online using the PayPal link above. In the past, donations from the appeal had specifically given much needed aid to the renovation of the Children’s Floor, the replacement of the heating and air conditioning system, and construction of a larger parking lot. In order to better serve their mission, FGPL shifted their annual appeal towards a broader goal of building an endowment for the Library, which will help offset future capital expenses. Your gift to FGPL today is a gift for the Library's future. Previous appeal donors: 2016 to 2017 List 2017 to 2018 List 2018 to 2019 List 2019 to 2020 List 2020 to 2021 List Amazon Smile
