Adopt A Book
Looking for a special gift for someone on your shopping list? Consider giving the gift of reading by donating to the library in honor of a loved one or friend. For a donation of $25, the library will purchase a new children's or adult book (your choice) which will be added to the library's collection. Books can be personalized with a bookplate if requested. Get more information here or contact Bill at bschlimme@tmcpl.org.
Book it Forward
Every child should have a new book in their life when they want one! Team up with Troy-Miami County Public Library and your local book store to give the gift of reading. Purchase a book at Jay and Mary's Book Center for kids ages birth -18 in need in our community. Choose your favorite or ask for a suggestion at the store. Get more information here.
Endowment Fund
An endowment fund was established in 2008 with The Troy Foundation to ensure the library’s long-term financial stability.
Gifts made to the Troy-Miami County Public Library Endowment Fund will be invested for the future. As it grows, the fund will provide an additional stream of revenue and a means for donors to make a lasting, positive impact on their community. The money earned from interest and dividends will provide supplementary financial support to sustain and enhance the library’s collections, programs, and services. Donate to a fund.
