The Annual Community Event - Grapes & Growlers: A Night at the Library
Grapes & Growlers: A Night at the Library is The Annual Community Event. It’s a fun evening out and
an excellent opportunity to support the library. Sponsorships are available at various levels and are publicized upon the announcement of the event. Proceeds fund the library’s annual summer reading program.
For information on Grapes & Growlers: A Night at the Library, contact Mick Jacobsen at 847.245.5100.
The Legacy Tribute and Collection Endowment
The Legacy Tribute is an opportunity to recognize a person or group of people with the purchase of specific library material or a collection of materials. The recognition can be in memory of a loved one or for a specific achievement or accomplishment.
The Collection Endowment provides means for the expansion of the library’s collection. An endowment is established with a minimum of $500 for a special collection. Every year after, 5% of the endowment’s value is used to purchase materials for that collection. All library collections are eligible for endowment or a general endowment can be established.
Both the Legacy Tribute and Collection Endowment materials include a bookplate to identify the individual or group being recognized, the reason for the recognition and the name of the individual or group who made the donation.
Thank you for supporting the LVDL Foundation.
