In September 2007, the Friends of Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library established an endowment fund with the Akron Community Foundation.

The endowment fund will build on a principle that will never be spent, but rather reinvested. The principal balance will generate future interest income to be used in support of the library.

If you would like to contribute to this fund, printed envelopes are available at the Friends' Informational stand near the elevator.

Checks should be made payable to the Friends of the Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library, and mailed to:

Donations of book and materials for the September and April Book Sales are accepted anytime at the circulation desk at the library. On Book Donation Day curb service is provided at the back door of the library. Passes for the “Friends Pre-Sale” will be given to those who donate 10 or more items.
