Support the Library
Wayne Lemoine Legacy Fund
Support children’s programming
Wayne was part of the magic of Swan’s Island. He loved life; he lived for this island community. The fund will be used initially to support everything we offer to children – a brand new after-school art club, summer programming that combines learning and art, and a wide array of materials for children including books, movies, toys, computer games, and more.

Buy a Brick
Support our endowment
Please help the Library “Pave the Way to the Future” by purchasing one or more bricks. The bricks will line the walkway to the internet porch. Your generosity will support our current programs and services and ensure the future of the Library for generations to come.
Our Impact
With few indoor public spaces on the island, the library is a special place. Our patrons might be tucked into a corner reading a book, sitting at a table using a laptop, or constructing a masterpiece with Legos in the children’s area.
