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.
