The Mark Twain Library Association is a private,
non-profit corporation providing free public library services to
the Town of Redding. Just over 60% of its annual budget is funded
by a grant from the town, with the balance raised each year from
contributions by members of the community.
The library seeks this essential private support
in the following ways. An Annual Appeal
is sent each spring to every family in Redding, asking them to become
a "Friend of the Library"
by making a contribution; the library welcomes contributions at
any level. In addition, the library holds three annual fund-raising
events: the Frog Frolic in early May;
the Book Fair in late summer; and the
Art Show party and exhibition in early
December.
