Annual Giving Campaign

We are excited to launch the first annual giving campaign for the Morton Grove Public Library.

This campaign is aimed at raising funds for our general operating fund, ensuring that MGPL continues to be a vibrant, welcoming place for all community members.

Why Your Support Matters

The Library is more than just the books on our shelves. At MGPL, we:

  • Offer digital resources, download and streaming services, a Library of Things collection, and more

  • Host educational programs, storytimes, and events for all ages

  • Provide services such as passport services and license plate renewals. We also offer study rooms and other spaces to do work

  • Maintain new initiatives like the Seed Library, Museum Passes, school outreach, and homebound delivery

  • Support access to technology (computers, printing, scanning) and other learning tools

Your gift through this annual giving campaign will help us respond to emerging needs, expand collections, pilot new services, and more. Your generosity will help make it possible.

Ways to Give

Donations are accepted

  • Online

Are you, your trust, or business only able to donate to 501(c)(3) charitable organizations?

We have you covered! Though MGPL is not a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, we are still able to accept donations through the Illinois Library Association’s “Fund for Illinois Libraries.” The process is a bit different but easy to follow:

  • Make checks payable to Illinois Library Association.

  • Write “Morton Grove Public Library” in the memo line.

  • Send checks to: 
    Illinois Library Association
    560 W. Washington Blvd., Ste 330

All gifts are tax-deductible as permitted by law.
