Support the GDL

The Genesee District Library is a valuable resource of this community. We know that libraries transform lives and deeply impact their communities. Here are a few ways to support the library you love:

Monetary Donations

Contributions received go into our General Gift Fund, but donors can request that funds be used for a specific purpose. Cash or check donations can be made at any branch of the GDL. Credit card donations can be made online by clicking the “Donate” button below.



If you would like to request the funds are used for a specific purpose, after you have submitted your donation you can fill out a form by clicking here to let us know of your preferences.
