Pittston Memorial Library Sustainable Fund Campaign Status
In December, 2019, the PML Board of Trustees endorsed the start of a Sustainable Fund Campaign. This process would hopefully raise $40,000 a year for each of three years and follow up the successful Capital Campaign which resulted in doubling the size of the Library, effective August of 2015. The Campaign started in February, 2020 with a meeting of the Committee which had been formed to guide the development of this important function. As a result, about $13,000 was raised with Rob Bresnahan starting this Fund with a $2000 commitment for the first year. With the Pandemic slowing many efforts down for the private, public, and nonprofit community, PML had to stop this process and no other funds were raised during 2020.
For the safety of the staff and other patrons, we ask that you stay home if you’re sick.
- If a patron does not have a library card, they can apply for one here.
