The Library accepts monetary gifts year-round, and has long-term giving and bequest options for benefactors.
Donate Money
The Library is pleased to accept donations and gifts year round. We prefer unrestricted funds so we can adapt spending as needs arise. Gift donations might be used to purchase books and materials, furniture, new museum passes, new collections, new databases, programs, and incentives and marketing materials to promote the Library.
Money donated at the Library goes to the Town of Grafton for administration and is placed in a Library “Gifts” account for Library use. Please make your check payable to The Grafton Public Library.
Money donated to the Friends goes directly to the Friends and is dispersed at their discretion.
Money donated to the Capital Campaign fund and is reserved for Library expansion and renovation and capital projects ranging from carpeting to furniture to computers.
