The Beyond Words: Finish this Chapter campaign is an opportunity to continue our mission of providing free and public access to knowledge for the community. The citizens of Fayetteville voted for a millage in 2016 which generated $27 million towards the expansion project, leaving us with $23 million to privately raise.

The hope was to conclude the capital campaign in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic made that a challenge. We still need to raise $9 million, to finish this chapter.

Please support the campaign and help us finish this chapter so that we can write the next one.

Thank you, 

David Johnson 
Executive Director

Still to Come:

+ A training and coding computer lab in the Center for Innovation.

+ Additional meeting spaces in Adult Fiction.

+ Updating the Friends' Bookstore and Mountain Street Welcome Desk to match the style of the expansion.

+ A dedicated genealogy department with climate-controlled room, computer lab and quiet space.

+ A 24/7 library that will provide access to library collections, holds, technology, printing and study space when the rest of the library is closed.
