The money raised will be used for all public libraries in Cabell County and the Tri-State Literacy Council. You can register on www.tristateracer.com. Through your support, you are helping your community grow through education, participation, and exploration.
Our annual Gala is our primary outreach fundraiser. Held the second Saturday each March, the Gala spotlights a particular country/region’s culture and heritage with events, entertainment, and a five-course dinner emphasizing the food and wine of that area.
The Library accepts donations of materials such as books, audiobooks, DVDs, Xbox Games, etc. In addition, we accept school supplies at the main library for the Homework Help Center. If you wish to donate a large number of items to the library at one time, please call in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements. In addition, please contact your local library if you have questions about a specific item you wish to donate. In accordance with the Library’s policies regarding the disposition of materials, qualified staff sort and add materials deemed appropriate to our collection and either release the remainder to the Friends of the Library for their periodic book sales or forward the donation to other organizations.
