$250 supports Maker Space equipment and supplies, including 3D printers, Circuits, sewing machines, tools, and materials.

$500 helps bring public art into the new library.

$1,000 provides a new desktop computer and accessories.

Every contribution helps create a library that reflects and serves the Lincoln community.
