The Roeliff Jansen Community Library is important to so many people for so many reasons: parents bring their children for story hour; neighbors gather for programs; friends participate in workshops, concerts, reading groups AND all this happens in a safe, beautiful space. Our library depends upon the support of individual donors such as you. Less than 40% of our operating budget comes from public tax funds allocated by the towns we serve. That’s why we need YOU and your support.

MANY thanks for your contributions. You can donate to a specific campaign or you can make a general donation by scrolling down to the bottom of this page.

You’re invited to Gala 2024!

The Gala is the library’s most important fundraiser, providing vital funding for our day-to-day operating expenses. This year, it will take place at Catamount Lodge in Hillsdale, New York on Saturday, June 8th. For more information like how to purchase tickets, please visit the Gala’s fundraising page. Your support is greatly appreciated!
