Your gift, our future library

The Garrett Public Library is preparing for its first major renovation since 2013. Earlier this year we secured a $2.6 million bond that covers the core project: a full interior refresh, two new study rooms, and a train-themed youth department.

The bids came in higher than we anticipated. Your gift helps us reach our stretch goals, a new garden and garden gate, a proper dumpster enclosure, and kitchen casework, and it helps us maintain the savings that protect the library against unexpected costs. The core project will move forward no matter what. Your gift decides how much more we can do, and how soon.

Every gift builds the library our community deserves. Thank you for investing in it.

Prefer to give another way? You can mail a gift or drop one off at 107 West Houston Street in Garrett. Please designate your gift for the 2026 renovation.
