Columbia Public Library

This year, we are fundraising to replace our Book Drop. It is time to upgrade to a newer, weatherized one with a pull-out cart, allowing us to lessen the heavy load on our staff. We've set a goal of $10,000. Our new Book Drop cost is estimated to cost $8,400. 

This book drop offers book and media return slots, materials protection from the weather, and a pull-out out cart to lessen the heavy loads that are brought into the library for scanning. 

Your generosity will also enable the library to continue the wide range of services it offers to Columbia and the surrounding communities—including infant through pre-school programs, take-home STEM kits, homeschool programming, computer literacy training for adults, take and make crafts, copy & fax services, book delivery, and so much more. 

At a time of uncertainty and stress, your support has helped to make us the beating heart of the borough. Thank you!
