Our Building Restoration Fund

The Bayfield Library’s 120-year-old structure and its grounds need ongoing restoration, including retaining walls and stairs, tuck-pointing the building masonry, outdoor lampposts, the foundation, and being ADA compliant. We welcome any help to raise the funds needed to complete this work. Please support our efforts to restore the library with your tax-deductible contribution.

Our Endowment Fund

If you prefer, you can earmark your financial gift to our endowment fund. The hope is that this money will be a safeguard so that a library can and will exist forever in Bayfield.

As of July 2024, the library endowment fund is at $89,466. Our final goal is to reach $100,000. We are getting closer and closer.
