A LIBRARY TO REMEMBER

There are few places in Topeka where a charitable gift has the potential to touch so many lives. If you pause in the Library's rotunda and observe some of the 2,500 visitors who come in and out every day, you will witness first-hand the rich diversity of our community.

People value our library because they find:

• It is welcoming to all
• It offers extraordinary customer service
• It provides wholesome entertainment for the entire family

Often characterized as "a community treasure", its collective personality is captured by the adjectives "knowledgeable, trustworthy, innovative, and fun."

Over 5,400 individuals have already stepped forward with their gifts, either through The Library Foundation or The Friends of the Library. This response suggests that we are helping to create a culture of giving in Topeka and Shawnee County that embraces The Library.
