Support the library

Small, local libraries give back to their communities in countless ways, and truly great libraries, whether large or small, provide a catalyst for their community, a springboard from which everyone benefits. Volunteering with a community library helps to create the bonds from which community springs.

There are many ways you can help contribute to John Trigg Ester Library. One the best ways is to join the Friends of the Ester Library! To find out more, see our website.

Or, you can donate to the library in various ways or in commemoration of various locals:

• Bookshelf dedications: $50, by the shelf
• Donations to our general funds in memory of Phil Carboy, proprietor of Gold Hill
