Donations to Camrose Public Library can be made through the Canada Helps website

http://www.canadahelps.org

Making a donation is simple: a donor chooses a charity (or charities), identifies any special requests associated with that gift (memorial designations, specific project requests, frequency of gift, Gift Card, etc.), and begins the checkout (or payment) process. Once the donation has been paid for, the donor receives an immediate, secure PDF tax receipt, issued by CanadaHelps, by email. CanadaHelps then disburses the funds (less a 3% transaction fee) to the designated charity, along with any special requests associated with that gift, and in the manner the donor specified at checkout.

The Lois Hole Library Legacy Program invites friends to help build the collections in Alberta's libraries. Donations may be more than merely a gift to your library and community. The Legacy Program allows for a donation in the donor's own name, or to honour a friend, family member or organization. Imagine if you will the pleasure that might derive from a decision to honour friends or family members in this way, while enriching the community through a donation.
