thelibrary.org Springfield-Greene County Library District Springfield, Missouri

The Springfield-Greene County Library District (Library) welcomes and encourages gifts and donations to support its current operations and future development. The Library accepts gifts of money, property, print and non-print materials, and bequests that further the Library's mission, goals, objectives and priorities. While the library may provide a gift receipt upon request, the library cannot assign monetary value to donated items.

In addition to gifts made directly to the Library, gifts are accepted by the Springfield-Greene County Public Library Foundation (Library Foundation) and Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library District (Friends of the Library). The donor will determine whether a donation is being given to the Library, Library Foundation or Friends of the Library. The primary function of these support organizations is to provide financial support to the Library. The Library Foundation receives and administers monetary gifts, bequests, endowment funds and other gifts, and conducts fundraising campaigns to support Library projects. The Friends of the Library undertakes a variety of activities, including book sales, to raise funds and support the Library.
