Giving

GENERAL DONATIONS may be made directly to the Crete Public Library District.  Donors may determine an area of interest, or if they would like to support either adult or children’s services. Donation Form

MEMORIALS:  Books, movies, even magazine subscriptions may be purchased for the library’s collection in memory or in honor of a loved one.  Donors may either designate a dollar amount, recommend a specific title or suggest a field of interest and the library will find something appropriate. Either way, a memorial plaque will be placed on the item and the family of the individual will be notified of the gift. Memorial Donation Form

CRETE LIBRARY FOUNDATION: 

            Donations may also be made to the Crete Library Foundation (501 c3).  The Foundation provides funds for collection development, technology and equipment.  They are the major support for the library’s Millennium Movie Collection, an in-depth collection of award-winning classic and contemporary movies on DVD.

They have also funded library landscaping through their Commemorative Gardens project.  Engraved garden pavers may be purchased in memory or in honor of someone and will be placed by the library’s front entrance. Paver Order Form

FRIENDS OF THE CRETE PUBLIC LIBRARY:

            The Friends of the Crete Public Library District (501 C 3 not for profit organization) provide ongoing support for collection development and programming.  Their Annual Book Sale and their ongoing Book Sale Cart annually supply funds for the adult and children’s summer reading programs.
