Special Campaigns: Contribute to our Collections!

Due to the 10% budget cut in county funding, ACLS leadership has made the difficult decision to cut the Collections budget by 16%, or $27,661.

This reduction impacts the Frostburg, Georges Creek, LaVale, South Cumberland, Washington Street and Westernport Libraries. If you would like your donation to go to a specific library branch, please include that in the notes and the donation will be restricted to your wishes.

We appreciate any contributions that you can make.

Please direct any questions you may have to Lisa McKenney, Director of Administrative Services, Allegany County Library System lmckenney@alleganycountylibrary.info
