Why not consider making a unique donation? These methods are just as beneficial to the Foundation and can have an even more personal value for you, the donor.

Gift and Memorial Fund

It's now easier than ever for individuals to give to the Windsor Public Library in honour or in memory of a loved one through the Library's Gift and Memorial Fund. This is an excellent way to honour or remember friends and family members on special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and marriages.

Gift and Memorial booklets are available at all Windsor Public Library locations as well as funeral homes throughout the Windsor area.

All donations are tax deductible and can be directed to the library branch of your choice. A bookplate will be placed in a new item being added to the collections in honour or in memory of your loved one.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Gift and Memorial Fund may do so at any Windsor Public Library.

For more information, please e-mail Chris Woodrow, Manager of Marketing & Communication, or call (519) 255-6770 ext. 4430
