Ways to Donate
The Sturgis Library is a private, independent public library, one of seven village libraries in the town of Barnstable, Massachusetts. We receive only 40% of our funding through the Town; we must raise the rest of our funds through private donations, grants, bequests, and other gifts. Donations to the Annual Fund provide us with revenue we can use today, and donations to our Endowment Fund provide us with security for the future.
The library accepts donations of cash, securities, and property. To make a secure cash donation using your credit card, click on the button below.
You may also donate by writing a check, payable to the Sturgis Library, and sending it to: Sturgis Library, Attention Lucy Loomis, Library Director, PO Box 606, Barnstable, MA 02630.
