Interlibrary Loan Fee

The Lincoln County Library System (LCLS) is looking for ways to reduce costs and still provide quality service to the community.
Effective October 1, 2010, the LCLS will charge $2.00 for every item borrowed from an out-of-county library. This fee will help offset the cost of postage.
If you have questions about this policy, please contact:
Brenda McGinnis, Director Phone: 307-877-6961 E-mail: bmcginnis@linclib.org
We thank you for your understanding.

Meeting the Endowment Challenge

Summer Fundraising a Success!
The LCLF Endowment Fund received almost $15,000 in donations as a result of the fundraising letter that went out in June. Thank you! Total donations to date are $50,741 and matching dollars received from the state are $94,958. Updated 08/30/10
Lincoln County libraries are busier than ever helping families survive during these tough economic times–providing help with job applications, teaching 21st century skills, and nurturing the love of reading in kids that will serve them the rest of their lives. At the same time, the libraries are facing reduced revenue and increased costs. These are precisely the times when earnings from an Endowment Fund could have a significant impact.
The Lincoln County Library Foundation continues to ask for your support of the Endowment Fund. County libraries are eligible to receive 2 to1 matching funds from the state on donations up to $213,043.
What could annual earnings (estimated at 5%) from a $700,000 endowment provide?
- 600 bestsellers and 10 public access computers;
- 1,200 children’s books and 240 books on CD;
- interlibrary loan costs and supplies for children’s programs for one year; or
- 100% of the libraries’ newspaper and magazine subscriptions for one year and 1,000 young adult books.
Your tax deductible donation will make a big difference in helping us reach our endowment goal and insuring that the library services you need are available. To donate online, click on “Foundation” at the top of the page and scroll down to the “donate” button, or mail your check to Lincoln County Library Foundation, 519 Emerald Street, Kemmerer, WY 83101.
Thank you for your support!
