What Happens to My Donations?
Each year we receive a huge amount of donated materials. Some donated items are added to the Lac La Biche County Libraries collection while others are sold on our used book shelf or reassigned to another organization. With the volume of material we receive we ask donors to adhere to the guidelines.
Financial Donations
The library uses financial donations to fund more programs & events for children, youth, adults & seniors in our community. We also use these funds to update our computers/software, furnishings, buy materials such as DVD's and books and to improve the overall atmosphere of the library.
Subscription Donations
One can support your library by purchasing a magazine subscription. Please check with the library staff regarding this type of donation.
