The Mark Twain Library is a private, Association library, founded by Mark Twain himself as a gift to the Redding community. He insisted on a public/private partnership, and today that relationship remains. While the town of Redding provides an annual grant to cover a portion of the Library’s operating costs, the remainder is raised through our fundraisers, and through the generosity of our Library Friends.

<<< Our 2013 Annual Appeal letter ...we are grateful for your Friendship! |

Contributions to the Annual Appeal are accepted at any time during
the year to help fund our collections, programs, and services, as well as the general
operation of the Library. Every gift, regardless of size, is welcomed and needed!
Those who make a gift become both a “Friend of the Library,” and a member of
the Mark Twain Library Association for the twelve months following the date of their
donation. As a member of the Association, a donor will receive an invitation to the
Library’s annual meeting in June, and an invitation to purchase tickets to the
Library’s Art Show Preview Party in December.

Honor someone with a donation to the Library by making a gift to recognize a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion. You can donate to the Mark Twain Library in someone’s name and we will send a letter explaining your thoughtful and creative gesture. It’s a win – win – win – for the gift giver, the recipient, and of course, for your library. And just think – you don’t have to wrap it! Books or other materials (including audiobooks, music CDs, and DVDs) will be affixed with a bookplate.
This is a wonderful option for end-of-year teacher gifts and presents for those who “have
everything”!
