RECOGNITION OF GIFTS
We would like to make all of our donors aware that there are many different ways to contribute to the continued success of Neuse Regional Libraries. Donations may be made In Honor of individuals in addition to In Memory donations. In the Children’s Room of the Headquarters Library, we recognize donations of $100 or more to children’s services on a beautiful plaque known as the Giving Tree. Joining the Friends of the Library is also a terrific way to contribute. The Friends of the Library organization provides funding for library programming and services throughout the calendar year. Corporate memberships to the Friends of the library are also available: these sponsorships are regularly publicly recognized by the Library. Finally, participating in Friends of the Library fundraisers such as the cruise raffle each spring and other raffles held throughout the year are excellent ways to demonstrate your support.
