With your support, the library’s already vital role in the community can evolve to include more needed programming, telehealth services, health and nutrition instruction, free educational courses, space for tutoring, community meetings and gatherings, and to display and teach about the town's rich history in collaboration with the Belfast Historical Society. These goals serve the objective of strengthening the town's social fabric and also serve economic and health-related needs.   It is important to note that no goods or services were provided in return for your generous gift. Your philanthropic spirit is making a direct impact on the library’s service to the community.  We will ensure that your donation is used judiciously to ensure the library’s historical legacy for generations to come. If you have any questions or would like further information about the impact of your donation, please do not hesitate to contact us at 585-365-2072 or via email at librarybelfast@gmail.com.
