Donating gently used books to the Friends of the Library organization is another great way to contribute. Financial support is always appreciated—whether it's through special giving campaigns like Library Giving Day or North Texas Giving Day, or by making a lasting tribute through a memorial gift in honor of a loved one. Every act of support helps strengthen the library and its mission to serve the community.
