shelf plates

Dedicate a library shelf to a friend or relative!

$50 gets a nameplate on a shelf in our new library building, construction starting (we hope) in summer 2010. Immortalize someone you love in the cause of literacy at your neighborhood library!

capital campaign

We are looking for large donations to help us earn money toward our goal of $500,000—the amount we will need to construct the first phase of the library's permanent home. Please read more about this campaign to bring a neighborhood library building to Ester.

Cold Hard Cash

The land is now paid off, but we still have maintenance expenses and we're working on the building and gazebo! Any time you'd like to make a straight cash donation, just send us a check made to JTEL. Send donations to:

John Trigg Ester Library
PO Box 468
Ester AK 99725

The library is a nonprofit organization, and is working toward obtaining its 501 (c) (3) charitable status.

We deposit donations to our checking and savings accounts, to be used for rent, supplies, and our building expenses. We plan to start the foundation in 2010, so whatever you can send will be used very soon!

Building supplies

We'll be needing plenty of materials for construction, skilled labor, and people who can lug stuff around. Let us know if you'd like to help us in this concrete (literally!) way, and we'll let you know what we need.

Office supplies

We can always use office supplies. Materials needed for the library include blank library cards, card pockets (preferably with sticky backing), bookends, Avery 5160 inkjet printer labels, pens, envelopes, and glue sticks.

Donating book credit

One way to donate to the library is to provide us with funds so that we can buy books of the librarians' choosing. Gulliver's Books will take your used books and apply the credit to the Ester library's used book credit account, if you ask them to when you bring in your old books. That way we can purchase books for series missing volumes, or books requested by the membership.
