Decatur County-Gilbert H. Gragg Library Foundation
The Decatur County-Gilbert H. Gragg Library Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization established in 1991. The purpose of the Foundation is to fully develop the potential of the public library through financial support from the private sector to increase awareness and use of the library, and thereby endow future generations with a broad range of intellectual resources.
Learn more about the Foundation through our informational Decatur County-Gilbert H. Gragg Library Foundation brochure.
Giving to the Foundation is an easy process. You can give any amount from $100 to over $100,000. For donations of $1,000 and more, plaques will be placed in the library’s foyer recognizing the gift. Creating an endowment is a great way for your gift to keep giving throughout the years. You can also choose how the money will be spent such as on books on cd, children’s books, or even programming.
