Donation to Jackson County library makes a perfect gift

Library lovers and history buffs from all over have a singular opportunity this year to combine giving Christmas presents to family and friends and giving to their community.

The Jackson County Library capital campaign is still under way, and co-chair Mary Otto Selzer says this is the perfect time to give.

“This is the time of year when we are thinking about our loved ones and dear friends and want them to know we care. A donation to the Jackson County Public Library Complex capital campaign in honor of someone shows a special kind of thoughtfulness. The honored person will receive a card letting him or her know of your Christmas gift donation in their honor,” said Selzer.

According to Selzer, the capital campaign has raised over $1.8 million from over 1,000 individual contributors.

To donate in someone’s name, or in your own name, drop off the donation at the Friends of the Library Used Book Store or the current library, both on Main Street in Sylva, or mail the donation to Friends of the Library, P. O. Box 825, Sylva, N.C., 28779. For further information call Mary Otto Selzer at 828.507.0476.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
