Annual Membership Campaign We're reaching out to ask for your continued support to help us maintain and grow this cherished institution. Unlike a public library system, the Yarmouth Port Library is privately funded. We rely entirely on the generosity of our patrons to keep our doors open and to provide the high-quality services you expect. In return, we offer personalized attention and a wide range of enriching programs. For the past 10 years, our annual membership drive goal has been $40,000. However, rising costs mean we need to increase our 2025 goal to $50,000 to maintain our current level of service. While we have an endowment, we're committed to preserving those funds for the library's long-term future. Your financial contribution makes it possible for us to continue offering the services, programs, and events that you and your family have come to enjoy. Our knowledgeable team is here to assist you, whether you're searching for your next great read or participating in a community activity. Maintaining the Yarmouth Port Library's operations is only possible through the generous support of our patrons. We kindly ask you to consider making a financial gift. Even a small upgrade in your giving can make a meaningful difference. Together, we can ensure the Yarmouth Port Library remains a beloved community cornerstone. Thank you for your kind support and generosity. Susan M. Kiehnau, President Yarmouth Port Library MEMBERSHIP FORM Click here for the Yarmouth Port Library Association Membership Form, or call the library at 508.362.3717 for more information. |
