Capital Campaign Donors
Between 2021 and 2024, when the new Galesburg Public Library opened its doors, over 600 donors came together to invest in our community's future. Their generosity powered a campaign with a $3.75 million goal and an extraordinary $4.2 million raised. Every gift, of every size, affirmed that this library is strengthened by the people it serves.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Your commitment during this transformational moment made this library possible, and we will continue to honour your impact for generations to come.
