Menomonie Public Library makes our community better for everyone.

We know you love your library! Alongside you, we strengthen and connect our community.

But, did you know there is a gap between what our library needs to operate and provide programs and what a municipal budget can provide?

We depend on you to partner with us to bridge the gap. A stronger community is a win for all of us.

ONE library. ONE community.

THREE ways to give.

FOR TODAY

The library has immediate needs and ideas for ways to enrich the community today that current public funding doesn’t cover.

Your gift FOR TODAY will be used immediately for the greatest current need at the library. Gifts may be given to celebrate, honor, or remember.

FOR TOMORROW

The Friends of Menomonie Public Library invest time and money so the library can continue to do good work in this place we all call home.

Your gift FOR TOMORROW will be directly gifted back to the library to sponsor events and support the library in a variety of ways.

FOR THE FUTURE

The Menomonie Public Library Foundation has been dedicated to enhancing the Library and Menomonie for over 30 years.

Dollars are invested now, to provide dividends FOR THE FUTURE. Your gift will leave a legacy so the library will be around for generations to come.
