A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas--a place where history comes to life.

Support the Library
There are many ways you can help!
Volunteer
Volunteering your time and skills at the Plymouth Public Library provides an enjoyable way to serve your community. Volunteers complement the library by assisting the staff with essential library operations. For more info, call 508.830.4250 or email Anne.
The Junior Friends group was originally founded to attract young people into the library, and to provide community service hours. It's developed into a vibrant group of young adults, ages 11 - 18, who actively support the library through volunteering, fundraising, and sponsoring programs aimed at involving youth in the library. More here.
Please stop at the desk in the Children's Room for an application to join the Junior Friends.
Buy
The shop is open! Library publications, memberships, Children's Birthday Club and books in honor are all available in one spot for you to peruse and purchase easily. All sales support the Library. Signed prints of our Reading on the High Seas posters by Terry Kole and Ronnie Rooney make great gifts.
Visit our online store to view and purchase.
Donate
The Library also welcomes donations. You may send a check made out to the Plymouth Public Library Corporation, or donate via credit card or PayPal here:
Consider a Legacy Gift
Charitable bequests are one of the simplest ways to leave a legacy gift to the Plymouth Public Library. In addition, through your will, you are often able to leave a gift at a level not possible during your lifetime, plus provide your estate with valuable tax benefits.
You'll also become a member of our Legacy Society, the Library's honorary recognition society for individuals who have made provision for the Library in their estate plans.
You may also memorialize an annual gift. To learn more about how a charitable bequest can memorialize your annual contribution, please call us at 508.830.4250, ext. 216.
More information about bequest options is here in Word or pdf formats.
Thank you for your consideration.
