New Ways To Support Your Public Library
The end of the year is the time when many make their charitable contributions. Online donations can now be made to the Plainfield Public Library through our website.
A “Donate” button is located on the bottom right of the page. It allows you to make confidential donations via credit card or PayPal. Donations may be made for general support or for the support of specific services, such as Adult Literacy, Local History, or the Children’s Library. Memorial donations are a meaningful way to recognize the memory of someone who has recently passed.
Tickets to special events that are sponsored by the Library or the Friends of the Library can also be purchased online.
You may have heard that Governor Christie signed into law a bill that will allow New Jersey taxpayers to make voluntary contributions to public libraries on their NJ tax forms. This will not take effect until 2016, when it will apply to 2015 taxes. We will share more information about this next year.
Last year library patrons also donated 752 items food items, a total of 837 pounds. See details on the flier below.
