Give-A-Thon

Every year, the Malvern Public Library holds an annual campaign in which we strive to raise the money we will need to meet our operating expenses for the year. And this year we need your help more then ever.

This spring, we are encouraging our patrons to donate to the library. Our goal for this year is $22,000, or eleven percent of our total operating expenses.

Please submit a donation by check or with PayPal, below. Every donation is deeply valued as it ensures we can live up to our mission and responsibility in serving you, our patrons and our community. In addition, all donations post marked or submitted electronically by Saturday, May 22 will be entered to win one of five canvas Malvern Library logo tote bags to show your continued support for your local library.

We are building a better library and need your help!
The Malvern Public Library would like you to help us write the next chapter. We're on a mission to create a more welcoming space for our community. A place to read, meet, and work in our new and improved space. Graphics, designs, and more are coming soon so please check back in! In the meantime, you can learn more about the 2023 capital campaign below.

Why Make Improvements?

The library has not undergone a renovation in over 20 years. While we have done much in the last 20 years to take care of our library, the capital campaign will be an effort to enhance the library resources and services we offer for decades to come. We'll be updating existing structures, building individual workspaces, and adding new materials for the community to use. The estimated cost for this project is $225,000 and your donation will help us get closer to our goal!

• New flooring and paint
• Enhanced entryway and café area
