Richardson Public Library provides welcoming, inclusive, high-quality services and resources that serve the entire community.

Richardson Public Library is open to donations of all types and sizes in areas such as programming, local history, technology and materials. From funding equipment for the library’s makerspace, to honoring a loved one with a book in their name, the Library welcomes support from our patrons and community.

Donations and sponsorship are suggested in the following areas:

Makerspace Resources

Support the Richardson Public Library’s Makerspace and provide children and teens access to technology with additional equipment and/or devices.

Historic Digitization

Help preserve Richardson's past as told by the Richardson Daily News by providing for the scanning and placement of digital images in a searchable database online that would be built and maintained in house. The library has 36 rolls of local newspapers that could be readily accessed in digital format.

Collection & Programming

Enhance the Richardson Public Library’s collection in a desired, targeted area. Funds may also include support to library programming for adults and children in a desired, targeted area.

Youth Services

Provide an incentive for recreational reading by giving a book at no charge to every child or teen who participates in our summer reading program. Furnish manipulative equipment that helps support motor skills in children of all ages.
