Annual Appeal

For generations, the Milford Public Library has been a place where our community comes together to read, learn, explore, and discover. From a child choosing their first book to a job seeker using a computer, the library provides free resources and opportunities for everyone.

As we approach our 100th anniversary, we are looking toward the next century of library service. Our Centennial Transformation Project is modernizing our aging building while creating more welcoming, safe, accessible, and flexible spaces for our community.

But a strong library requires more than a great building.

While the library receives public funding, that funding has remained largely stagnant over the past decade, while the cost of operating the library has continued to rise. As a result, we must raise a portion of our annual operating budget through grants, donations, and community support.

We invite you to invest in your community today. Your gift helps provide everyone with free books, technology, educational programs, workforce resources, and vital community services.

  The Milford Public Library is an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, not fully funded by the State, Counties, or City.

Your support is appreciated and fully tax-deductible. Donation receipts are automatically sent when you donate online! Scan the QR code below to visit our secure Zeffy donation platform.
