Support the Library

The heart of every library is its community…and we rely on you!

 

The Desmond-Fish Public Library is a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational organization chartered by the State of New York.

Contributions to the Desmond-Fish Public Library are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.

Your gifts make a difference in the lives of everyone in our community throughout the year.

Thank you for your support during our 2023 Year End Appeal!

Our patrons, donors, and Library Friends have made the Library what it is today, and your gift makes a difference in the lives of everyone in our community throughout the year.

We invite you to make a donation to the Library and join or renew your Friends membership for 2024!

Our patrons, donors, and Library Friends have made the Library what it is today. Please consider making a donation or signing up for a Friends Membership.

Donating In-Kind Goods

Because of space constraints, we are not able to accept any donations of books and media at this time. Donated material will be turned away or disposed of.

For other donation inquiries, please email director@desmondfishlibrary.org.

Planned Giving

By making a planned gift, you are
insuring the long-term viability and vitality of the Library. Your gift will strengthen and protect the Library’s valuable assets–not only our collection of books and reference materials but also our valued tradition of service to knowledge.

Your bequest to the Library can support what you care about the most, whether it is the building and grounds or a specific collection. Or, you can leave your gift unrestricted so we can apply it toward the areas of greatest need.
