Annual Appeal Campaign
The Annual Appeal is a yearly mailing to our community asking 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. Through past annual appeals, the FGPL has financially aided specific needs of the Library, such as the renovation of the Children's Floor, replacement of the heating and air conditioning system, and the construction of a larger parking lot. In order to better serve their mission, FGPL has sustained a broader goal of building an endowment for the Library, which will help offset any future capital expenses. Your gift to FGPL today is a gift for the Library's future.
