What is the Ensuring Excellence campaign?
Ensuring Excellence is a special purpose, capital campaign that will help the Library move up from its current level of good service (2.6 books per capita) to the next level of excellence (4 books per capita.) It is a major fundraising effort that begins in 2006 and ends in 2011. The goal is to secure significant private support to purchase new print and non-print materials and shelving. Ensuring Excellence will help provide our community with approximately 68,000 new items for loan as part of an “opening day collection” in 2011, when the Library expansion is scheduled for completion.
