Capital Campaign, Phase III

The Delavan Aram Public Library Foundation (DAPLF) continues to work diligently towards a Phase III goal of $500,000 in grants, pledges, and/or donations. As with all projects, funding is still needed, especially for unique items like Makerspace tools or a Whisper Room (recording studio). Are you interested in purchasing items on our Amazon wishlist? Or, perhaps you know someone who might be interested in donating funding towards overall construction?

Our space is special and our community makes it even more so. Donations of any size can be made here or scan the QR code below. If you have a lead or a question, please reach out to our Director, Michelle Carter, mcarter@delavanlibrary.org.
