Donate

The Friends of the Campbell Library established the Umbrella of the Community Foundation to ensure there would always be funds available to provide services to the public and invest in literacy materials. This endowment allows the Friends as a non-profit to build for the future, insuring that the good work of the Friends will continue. Anyone can show support by donating to the Literacy Endowment through the Community Foundation of Grand Forks, East Grand Forks region. Each donation will be added to permanently support a growing fund. Donations may be sent to:

Literacy Endowment
620 DeMers Avenue
Grand Forks, ND 58203

Or call the EGF Campbell Library for more information: 218-773-9121.


Book and other library material donations are always accepted at the library. These donations may be added to the library collection or they may be used at the Friends’ annual Book & Treasure Sale in the Spring.


The Friends annual Book & Treasure Sale is held each Spring on the 1st Wweekend of May. This is a great time to support the library and find books and treasures for yourself. Donations can be brought to the library the last week of April for the sale.
