Beaver Island District Library Endowment

We are excited to announce the establishment of The Beaver Island District Library Endowment Fund, administered by the Charlevoix County Community Foundation.

The BIDL Endowment will allow our donors' generous gifts to be a permanent legacy to support the library in perpetuity. The endowment fund will provide essential stability and will be a permanent source of unrestricted funding for the library.

You can become a founding member of The Endowment Fund by making a donation or by purchasing a wooden book spine that will be personally engraved with a short message, quote or name. Spines come in three sizes: 1", 2", and 3" and cost $100, $200, and $300 respectively. Each book spine can display up to 25 characters. Your “BOOK” will be proudly displayed on the Endowment Founders Book Shelf. Of course, donations larger than $300 are always appreciated as well. To be considered a founding member, your contribution must be made by August 31, 2022. In addition to the Founders Book Shelf, we will also have Staff and Board members shelf. Unspecified donations will be placed on a Friends of the Library shelf.

The wooden book spines are being fabricated by Blair Scott. Download the book spine order form here.
