Sponsorships make a difference in our local community
Around 40% of our annual operating budget comes from the generous support of our community and sponsors like you. In 2024, more than 38,000 people walked through our doors, and we offered 319 community programs reaching 7,514 people. We also launched our Library of Things, where you can check out tools, electronics, outdoor games and more.
As a Helen Kate sponsor, your business will gain visibility, generate goodwill and help the library sustain its mission of bringing joy, discovery, and lifelong learning to our community. The benefits of each sponsor level are detailed here.
Update: We have extended the sponsorship deadline to May 31, 2025.
Sponsorships will now run from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026.
