Opportunities for Giving
The Scranton Library is supported by the Town of Madison, which provides 85% of the library's annual budget. Additional support -- and the ability to provide excellent service -- comes from the generosity of donors. Only with donors' support can the Scranton Library continue to provide excellent collections, stimulating programs and lifelong education.

The E.C.Scranton Memorial Library is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization. Contributions are fully deductible under federal tax regulations. The Library is eligible for corporate matching grants.

P.O. Box 631, Madison CT 06443.

Book Fund Annual Appeal
The Annual Appeal supports the Library by providing materials that keep the Library at the center of the community’s intellectual life. Your generous contribution can help support books, online databases, DVDs, CDs, and audio books for children, teens, or adults. Everyone from cradle to retirement enjoys borrowing books, movies or music from the Scranton Library.

With your contribution of $50 or more, we will inscribe a special bookplate to be placed at the front of a newly purchased book.
