Donate to the Library

There are many ways that you can donate to your historic library!

1. Make a financial donation to your library.

There are different options for donating funds:

  • use the yellow Donate button to donate online directly to the library’s PayPal account using PayPal, Venmo, or a credit/debit card,
  • or use the green NNYCF button to make an online donation in general support of the library via the Northern New York Community Foundation,
  • or use an envelope provided by the circulation desk. These funds can go to The Friends of the Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library or directly to the library itself.

In any case, you will receive a letter thanking you for your donation that you can use for tax purposes.

Donations to the library of $1000 or more are placed on the donor wall in the library.

  • items needed include hardcover and paperback fiction and nonfiction for kids, teens, and adults
  • the library does not accept VHS tapes, cassette tapes, textbooks, encyclopedias, reference books, or magazines

5. Volunteer your time at one of our library events!
