Foundation Launches Capital Campaign

The Elbert County Libraries Foundation, formed in 2009, will launch its first capital campaign, Building for the Future, to raise money for a new Branch Library in Elizabeth.

The current Elizabeth Branch Library is bursting at the seams, with no more room to grow. The new location will have more space for gathering and more computers for patrons to use. It will also have a community meeting room similar to the current Meeting Room space located next door to the Elizabeth Library.

Building for the Future is the campaign to raise the money needed to proceed with the renovations of the new facility. The Library District has carefully managed the funds provided by the citizens of the county through a mill levy on property taxes. While a significant amount of the purchase price for this new building project has been accumulated by the District, funds are still needed to finalize the purchase, and to remodel and furnish the new library.

What the Elizabeth Library has been, is now and will be in the future all come together in this Building for the Future campaign. The Library's distinctive contribution to the Elizabeth community must be preserved and passed on to future generations. It is the responsibility of all of us who enjoy the Library to see that this takes place.

Campaign Goal: $1.4 Million in grants, corporate, and private donations.

Your contribution to the Building for the Future Fund will go towards the purchase, remodel and furnishing of the new Elizabeth library.
