Giving To The Annual Fund

There is nothing quite as nice as sharing some good news. The Scarborough Public Library is honored to be one of Maine's most exemplary libraries, and based on numbers, more people than ever are coming through the doors. We ask you to join us in sustaining the important work we do by donating to this year's Annual Fund. Your past support has contributed to our success, and your continued generosity will sustain us as we continue to meet the needs of our community.

Please consider making a donation today through our secure website, or visit the Library to pick up an Annual Fund envelope. Any amount is appreciated. Every gift is important.
