Foundation for the Indian Trails Library District

Why Donate?

The Indian Trails Public Library gets approximately 90% of its funding through property taxes. Unlike other governmental entities, such as park or school districts, the library does not have a revenue stream or charge fees for services, other than recouping the cost of materials for special programs. 

Fortunately, the library has a foundation that actively raises funds for requested items and helps advocate for the library in the community. In the past the library has purchased

• Books to be given out to children for reading programs
• Expansion and enhancement of the Reading Garden
• Launch Pad on the Go Kits
• Sewing machines for classes

The foundation raises funds through

• Used book sales
• Annual appeal
• Special events
• Restaurant days

IN 2021

The foundation has two exciting projects to support in 2021:

• Green Lake Park StoryWalk
• Improved Reading Garden Seating

Discover more about these projects that support literacy, reading and contemplative experiences.

Consider making a donation today to support your library! To make a donation in person, please contact  Jen Schmidt or call 847.279.2222.
