MEMORIALS, BEQUESTS and CASH DONATIONS

Library patrons can support the work of the library through monetary donations.  Donors can give to the ongoing work of the library, designate purchase of materials to a particular area (i.e. children’s books, large print) or for ongoing and special projects as they arise.

Memorials in the name of loved ones are accepted and appreciated.  Nameplates are placed in the front of any materials or furniture purchased.  Memorials may also be given for the ongoing work of the library.  

You can also leave a lasting gift to the community by including the River Falls Public Library in your estate planning.

River Falls Library Foundation

The River Falls Library Foundation provides funding and support for projects outside of the scope of the library’s regular budget.  The Foundation has played a major role in all the library’s building projects, including the current building (1997), lower level construction (2003), and the 2009 remodeling project.  They also provided half the funding for the electronic signboard.

The Foundation underwrites the cost of the children’s annual Summer Library Program, funds library technology purchases, financially supports programming and gallery exhibits, and purchases new bestsellers, as well as other projects as requested by staff.  The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization.  Annual membership is just $5 for individuals and $15 for families.
