Please indicate in which fund you’d like your donation to be placed. Here is a description of our various funds.
General Operations
Donations for general operations are what enable the library to continue functioning on a daily basis. This covers all of our expenses from staffing to utilities, from materials to programs, and from property maintenance to computer services.
Endowment
Donations to the Endowment Fund are placed into our fund established with the Mechanicsburg Area Foundation. This is a permanent fund that provides income each year to support the library. An endowment provides essential stability, grows over time, and is a permanent source of funding to help meet both current and future needs. Contributions to the endowment are a great way to leave a legacy with your charitable giving.
Friends of the Library Membership
Every great library needs great friends! And the Simpson Library has an outstanding Friends group that provides thousands of dollars in financial and volunteer support to the library each year. The Friends of the Joseph T. Simpson Public Library are a membership organization with annual dues. Dues range from a $20 minimum up to any amount you wish to give. Renewal letters are sent on an annual basis requesting renewal of your membership. Friends members receive an invitation to attend their Members Only Preview Nights held on the evening prior to each of their three books sales held in February, June and October.
Library Materials
Donations to this fund are used to purchase library materials such as books and media materials. Book plates are placed in each item recognizing the name of the donor.
Property
Donations to the Property Fund are used for major repairs, capital projects, and building renovations and expansions.
You can also support Simpson Library by making a bequest or volunteering your time.
