New Library Cost Estimated Debt Schedule Building Program Sustainability Library Comparisons Operating Budget Usage Statistics

The new Durham Public Library is an investment in the quality of life in our town, and a gift to future generations. The New Library Campaign goal of $900,000 has been surpassed (we are currently over $1 million) as the private share of the public-private partnership with the Town for a new facility. These funds will be added to the $1.2 million already given to the Trustees over the years specifically for a new library. All told, the Trustees and the community will contribute a total of $2.2 million toward the new library thus reducing the bond request as the Town's share of the project costs. Fundraising is continuing in earnest. Please be a part of making the long-awaited new library a reality.

We are making all of our campaign information available on this website, but if you have any questions please feel free to email the Campaign Committee at (email address).

• Donations are tax-deductible and may be pledged and paid over three years by cash, check, securities, paid-up insurance, retirement assets, or credit card.
• All donors will be recognized in a Book of Benefactors.
• All gifts and pledges can be given as a tribute to a person you would like to honor or to perpetuate the memory of a loved one.
• Donors of $2,500 and more, unless they prefer to remain anonymous, will be recognized in a prominent display in the new building.
• Donors of $5,000 and more also may choose to designate their gifts to sponsor a room, area, or item in the new library.
