Use
Your Library, Support it Generously!
The Mark Skinner Library is an essential and vital community center
for education, enjoyment and outreach. Its mission is to serve the
life-long journey of learning by providing information and opportunities
for personal enrichment to people of all ages in our community.
The Annual Fund bridges the gap between taxpayer funding and the
full cost of providing quality services.
Why
Give?
The Library is the rare institution that offers opportunities for
people of all ages and backgrounds. From finding a job to launching
a business, from researching a school report to learning about
the world, libraries help people get started. Although most public
libraries in Vermont receive on average 70% of their annual financial
backing through taxpayer support, the town of Manchester appropriation
accounts for less than 50% of Mark Skinner's 2009-2010 income. To fulfill
our mission, we must raise funds through our Annual Fund drive.
