The McPherson Public Library
Endowment Fund was started by members of the Board of Trustees in 1983 and
established through a community fund drive.
The Board stipulated that no interest revenues would be available for
use by the library until the Endowment reached $100,000, which it did six years
later in 1989.
Bestselling author George Plimpton autographs copies of his latest book at the library as part of a benefit speaking engagement for the endowment fund in 1986.
The goal of the Endowment is to
insure that the citizens of McPherson have access to a superior array of library materials, resources, services, and facilities.
The Endowment serves to enhance the quality of the collections and services provided by our library.
The McPherson Public Library strives to enrich, inspire, and enlighten our communtiy through exceptional collections, services, and programs.
