SUPPORT THE LIBRARY

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.
