SUPPORT YOUR LIBRARY!
As a non-profit library, only partially funded by the City, Springvale Public Library depends on the generous support of our community. From volunteer time, donations to our collection, booksale, Library of Things, office supplies, to becoming a Legacy funder, we could not offer the extensive and vibrant Library that it is without you.
It is with gratitude to the supporters of our Annual Appeal that the Library can pay our staff, maintain our building, and provide our essential services.
Springvale Library is the heart of the community, and you are the heart of the Library.
