Your Support Helps The Library Thrive

Your support is essential to the long term success of the Library because it empowers us to provide vital resources, educational programs, and a welcoming space for everyone in the community. There are many ways to support your library’s mission. Donations help us expand our collection, update technology, and offer free events, while volunteers bring their time and skills to enhance services and enable us to impact more throughout Porter County. Together, your support ensures the library remains a vibrant hub of knowledge, creativity, and connection for all.

How You Can Help

The Library accepts monetary donations to directly support the Library and the Library Garden.

Donate to PCPLS

Sponsor a garden feature

Donations of books to support the Friends of the Library are gladly accepted at all branches. Please limit donations to one box of books per week as the Friends of the Library are a volunteer organization with limited staff and space.

Did you know that PCPLS also has an endowment established to support our Library? By clicking the link below, you can give money to help this endowment grow and support the library for years to come.
