The Fargo Public Library invites you to make an investment in support of the new South Branch or the new Main Library. Supporting the library system through this historic campaign will create a legacy for our community - libraries of beauty and accessibility to welcome all who enter their doors.
Your gift will have the power to unlock imagination, wisdom, hopes, and dreams - welcoming all who love to learn. The area of the Library you choose to support can bear your name, or the name of your family, business, or someone you wish to honor. Or, if you prefer, your gift can be anonymous.
Each gift is tax deductible and may be pledged now and paid over a three or five-year period. If you wish to donate appreciated stocks or securities, please contact Mike Hannaher, Director of Development of the FM Area Foundation (701-234-0756). Your gift will bring joy and inspiration to thousands of patrons now and in generations to come.
