How You Can Help Support Ohioana
Membership. The simplest way to give your support is to become a
member. As a member, you receive the Ohioana Quarterly, and you are invited to
attend our special events. Beyond that, however, you are helping to
preserve an important and substantial literary legacy.
Join us by completing and returning our Membership Form
with the appropriate membership fee.
An Easy Way to Donate: Through GoodSearch. Now you can support Ohioana every
time you search the Internet. For each time you use GoodSearch, a direct donation will be made to the Ohioana Library.
The money adds up quickly—if 1,000 people search just twice a day, it could generate $7,300 a year—
and the money donated is generated through advertising, so it is free for us and easy for you. It is important, however, to use this link and place in on
your favorite list as it is
programmed for donations to Ohioana:
http://www.goodsearch.com/?charityid=836422
Then for every search you conduct, one penny will be donated to Ohioana. It’s a great way to provide
much-needed support by doing something you do every day.
Volunteer Opportunities. The Ohioana Library is the perfect place to
employ present talents or to develop new ones.
Volunteers of all ages help us with reviewing books;
collecting, organizing, and filing biographical information;
entering data into the computer; preparing for special events;
researching topics of special interest; developing educational
programs; and countless other projects.
Please contact us if you are
interested in volunteering.
Donations to Our Collection. We welcome donations of books,
manuscripts, photographs, sheet music, letters, clippings, and other
ephemera related in some way to the literary and cultural heritage of Ohio.
We also publish a special “Wants List,” available upon request, of out-of-print
or hard-to-find books that we need for our collection. For information about donating books and other material to the library see
Material Donations.
A Gift of Ohioana. An Ohioana Membership gift is an ideal gift for any reader, book lover, or
fan of the Buckeye State. We will package your gift with an approperate note or letter, a brochure about Ohioana, a bookmark, and the
most recent issue of the Ohioana Quarterly.
Ohioana Collection Builders Project.
The Ohioana Collection Builders Project is an effort to fill in gaps in the collection,
in which donors are encouraged to fund the purchase of out-of-print, scarce, and rare titles that the library needs.
Financial Support. Although the Ohioana Library receives a small subsidy
from the state, financial support from individuals, businesses, and
organizations ensures the continued growth of this vital literary and cultural resource.
The Ohioana Library is currently in the midst of a $7-million Capital
Campaign to raise vital funds to ensure Ohioana’s future. The library also
administers several individual endowments.
Commemorative and Memorial Gifts. You may also give a contribution to Ohioana to
commemorate a special occasion, or
in honor of or in memory of someone special.
