Named Gifts
"Knowledge is power."
-- George Eliot
Your public library is an institution that lies at the
very heart of
democracy. Its wealth of knowledge flows freely and can be used by
anyone. The library is what people make of it; a path to enlightenment,
a source of entertainment or a road to success. It fulfills its varied
duties equally to all. In that it is one of our most basic freedoms,
the public library can easily be taken for granted. So we seek gifts
from those who see the importance and significance of a strong, vital
public library system. With your help, we can secure this important
cornerstone of our community. Your are invited to etch your place in
history with a gift that lets you, your family or your company to
become permanently associated with the Memphis Public Library &
Information Center through named recognition.
