Help Us Reach Our 2026 Fundraising Goal
Did you know that the Library is a registered charity mandated by the City of Sherbrooke to provide library services to the community?
Close to 80% of our operating budget comes from the City of Sherbrooke.
However, this funding does not cover the full cost of providing library services to our community. We rely on the generosity of our community to help sustain our core services and offer additional resources and programs.
The library has more than 1,915 active users. Last year, a record 7% of our members made a donation to support the library. This year, our goal is to reach 10%—about 190 donors.
You can help us get there by participating in our Adopt-a-Book Campaign
Here’s how it works:
- Choose a book from the display of new arrivals at the library, or from the lists on our website.
- Make a donation equal to the book’s retail price (usually between $20 and $45),
either online through Zeffy, or in person by cash, cheque, or debit. - Your gift will be recognized: your name (or that of someone you wish to honour) will appear on a bookplate inside the book, and a tax receipt will be issued for your donation.
