The Future

To ensure the library's long-term financial stability, an endowment fund has been established with a goal of $1,000,000. A gift to this fund creates a legacy that will benefit Canton residents for years to come. With your help, we will continue to:

• Inspire a love of learning in our youngest patrons through our children's, tween and teen programs
• Build collections into the most diverse and comprehensive in the region
• Invest in technology to provide the latest research, communication, and computing tools
• Enhance our facilities to offer a welcoming atmosphere for leisure, learning, and community building
• Provide excellent customer service with a staff that is knowledgeable, flexible and responsive to patron needs

How to Give

• Pick up a copy of our Connections to the Future brochure at the library or have one sent to you. Then, complete the attached pledge form and mail it to the Canton Public Library. Make checks payable to: Canton Public Library Endowment Fund.
• Go to our secure website and use Visa or Mastercard to easily and conveniently make your contribution.
