Asotin County Library

M ON D A Y, M A R C H 3 1 , 2 0 1 4

2014 Giving Guide Mission Statement

The mission of the Asotin County Library Foundation is to support a vibrant, modern library system that serves the diverse needs of everyone in our community in perpetuity.

Giving Opportunities You are invited to join us in creating a nature mural by sponsoring a tile. The hand-sculpted tiles make unique gifts or wonderful honorary or memorial tributes for family and friends.

More information about sponsoring a tile is available through the main branch.

We are grateful generous donors like you are helping us create a remarkable work of art for the community to enjoy. The proceeds from this project will be used to add a mezzanine to the Downtown Library.

Address: (Main branch) 417 Sycamore St., Clarkston, WA 99403 Phone: (Main branch) (509) 758-5454 Address: (Heights branch) 2036 4th Ave., Clarkston, WA 99403 Phone: (Heights branch) (509) 758-4601 Online: aclib.org

The library building, dedicated in 1993, was originally designed to include a mezzanine to be added at a later date. We’re now running out of space, which is putting limitations on the services we can offer.

Construction of the mezzanine will enable us to: Create a quiet reading area; Incorporate an early literacy center; Create an exciting and inviting teen space; Increase the number of public computers; Expand areas for laptop users to access our wireless network; Enlarge current meeting room; Provide a small conference room; Expand large print and DVD collections and provide space for emerging technologies.

Checks should be made out payable to: Asotin County Library Foundation, and mailed to 417 Sycamore St., Clarkston, WA 99403. Monetary gifts are tax deductible and corporate matching gifts are welcome.

2014 Giving Guide Mission Statement

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores throughout the United States are mutually formed in an association of lay employees and volunteers dedicated to serving our needy sisters and brothers. All who come to our stores are welcomed with dignity and respect.

Customers, employees and volunteers are treated equally without regard to race, color, creed, age, sex or national origin. Serving Christ’s people needing assistance is the primary goal of all St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores. In this ministry, we pledge to use sound business practices.

Surplus funds will be dedicated to the support of charitable causes of the society.
