It was established in 1998 in the belief that financial support from individuals, corporations, organizations and foundations is needed to ensure an excellent library system in the future. In 1998, Timberland Regional Library handled over 200,000 visits each month at its 27 locations, circulated more than 4 million items, and attracted nearly 37,000 adults and children to its programs and tours. In addition, nearly 50,000 people attended outreach programs and 100,000 signed up for computer time. While property tax dollars makes most of this possible, the Library depends on additional support to create and expand its programs so necessary to our growing communities. As competition for government funds grows, tax revenue alone will not meet our communities' needs for the materials, information and resources an excellent library can and should provide.
All donations are tax deductible.
Many thanks to all our dedicated volunteers who make the Timberland Regional Library Foundation possible. The TRLF board is composed of library partrons, Friends members and TRL trustees.

Among their many activities, book sales are popular, often tying in with local celebrations and fun events. Start your engines and zip over to several of these book sales.
