Board reports about $128,000 raised; debate over donor recognition and web listing
Summary
Board members said the library’s fundraising drive has raised roughly $128,000 from about 87 donors and discussed donor tiers, whether to display donor names on the website or on plaques, and options to recognize both large and small contributors.
Board members reported progress on a quiet fundraising phase that has produced a substantial portion of the library’s private support and discussed how to recognize donors publicly.
A board member said the campaign has already raised "a $128,000, almost a 129," and trustees debated donor categories—‘library laureates,’ ‘storytellers,’ ‘page turners’ and ‘book lovers’—and whether to publish names on the website or include plaques inside the building. Members emphasized including small donors in public recognition while preserving an option for those who want anonymity.
