Donations

Donations

Trent Lakes Public Library is an active and valued cornerstone of the community. Donations from individuals, groups, and organizations allow Trent Lakes Public Library to enhance service offerings. Funds may be used to upgrade equipment, refurbish branches, purchase specialty resources, or expand services and programs.
 
Much of Trent Lakes Public Library's operating budget is funded by the Municipality of Trent Lakes; however, to meet the growing needs of the community, additional support is required. Trent Lakes Public Library is a registered non-profit organization. Financial gifts of $25.00 or more are tax deductible.
