2^nd Century Society

The Gift of a Lifetime

The 2nd Century Society is a group of visionary donors committed to supporting literacy and public library service for our community, now and in the future. 2^nd Century members have included The Library in their will or estate planning and have advised the library system of that planned gift.

The Library is honored to be entrusted with these gifts and the legacy of these visionary members of our community. And we’re deeply appreciative of the opportunity to connect with these supporters and understand their wishes so those wishes can be carried out appropriately when the gift is eventually received.

Named in honor of The Library’s 100^th year of service, gifts from this Society will fund everything from current services  to increasing the endowment funds that help insure public library service continues well into a second century.

Are you interested in providing for literacy and library service in our community?  We would welcome an opportunity to discuss your plans and assure you that your gift will be used according to your wishes. Please contact Karen Cullings by email or at 717-234-4961 ext. 1105 to learn more and share your thoughts with library leadership.
