Library Legacy Tree

Honor. Remember. Inspire.

The Library Legacy Tree is a unique opportunity to celebrate the lives of those who have touched our hearts and enriched our lives. You can create a lasting tribute to a loved one, a mentor, or a cherished friend, while supporting the library’s mission of fostering lifelong learning.

What is the Library Legacy Tree?

The Library Legacy Tree is a beautifully crafted installation located in our library, symbolizing growth, community, and remembrance.

By purchasing a Legacy Leaf, you contribute to the library’s programs and resources while leaving a meaningful mark in our community.
