The Annual Giving Campaign works to acquire unrestricted gifts to augment the library’s collections. All contributions to the campaign are used to buy the books and recorded items that are used by the public.
Each year since its inception, the campaign has netted more money than the prior year, a record of which we are very proud. Donation envelopes are available at the libraries in Ambler and Blue Bell and are included in the library newsletter that is mailed to all tax payers in the Wissahickon School District. We will appreciate and put to good use any amount that you would like to contribute.
The library's United Way donor option number is 025280.
If your company has a matching gift program, you can multiply your generosity to the library. Please contact your human resources department and ask for a matching gift form. All you have to do is complete the form and send it to us at 650 Skippack Pike, Blue Bell, PA 19422. In some cases a spouse’s company will also match a gift or even provide a financial match for volunteer hours contributed to the library.

Opportunities
to support library services include gifts of time and money such
as:
Memorials...A gift
to the library is a thoughtful way to honor the memory of a friend, neighbor,
colleague, or loved one.
Birthday Book Gift.
..A book, selected with assistance from the library staff, will display a
bookplate acknowledging the donor as well as the recipient. Books are
appropriate for all ages and are particularly exciting for children.
Honor Book Gift...A
tangible way to show your friendship and admiration for a friend, family member,
or colleague.
For each of these gifts, an attractive acknowledgment will be sent to the family or honoree identifying the donor. A book plate, in each gift book, will display the names of honoree and donor. Each contribution must be at least $25: these gifts are deductible for income tax purposes.
In addition to gift books, you are invited to discuss
memorials and commemorative gifts for other library items with library staff.
