more ways to give
individual, Corporate, and foundation Giving
Individuals, corporations, local businesses, and foundations make a meaningful impact on library facilities and programs. Community gifts helped build the new Laramie County Library and continue to support free public programs and expanded services.
Memorials and Honors
Donations made in memory or in honor of a loved one are a meaningful way to celebrate life and legacy. With a tax-deductible contribution (minimum $25), the library will purchase a book or entertainment item. Donors may suggest an area of interest for selection.
Acknowledgments are sent to the honoree or the family of the deceased, and a printed plate bearing the donor’s name and the honoree’s name is placed in the item.
Book donations
The Book Sale Room accepts donations of books, DVDs, and other materials throughout the year. Proceeds from the Book Sale Room directly benefit library programs.
named gifts
A named gift is a lasting way to honor someone or recognize your own connection to the library. Opportunities include items such as brick pavers, sculptures, meeting rooms, display cases, and benches.
Please contact the Foundation for a complete list of available naming opportunities.
planned giving
Including the Laramie County Library Foundation in your estate plans allows you to support the library while also meeting your personal financial and philanthropic goals. Planned gifts may include:
- Wills or living trusts

We are available to assist donors with integrating charitable gifts into long-term planning. Legal and tax counsel should be consulted when considering any planned gift.
endowment
The Laramie County Library Foundation Endowment is a permanent investment fund established to benefit the library year after year. The principal is preserved, and only the annual income is used to support library programs and services. As the endowment grows, so does the Foundation’s ability to serve future generations.
