Annual Fundraiser

Support Major Library Needs

Each year, the Mattoon Public Library hosts an Annual Fundraiser to support major library needs and long-term improvements that enhance services for the entire community. Funds raised through the Annual Fundraiser help support capital projects, building improvements, and other significant library initiatives that are not always covered by regular funding.
