We are currently accepting donations in order to support this effort. We would be extremely grateful for any level of support you might be able to provide.

You can pick up donation envelopes at the library or use the donate button below. The Acorn Public Library District is a non-profit organization and has a 501(c)3 number through the Illinois Library System Directors Organization (ILSDO). Donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your support!
