The library system cannot function without donations. We accept gifts of money, materials such as books and DVDs, and time.

You can donate by bringing cash or check to either library, by mailing a check to either library, or by making a safe and secure donation via PayPal. Donations can be made to either the Library Board of Directors (checks should be made out to the Plumb Memorial Library), which is a municipal department of the City of Shelton, or to the Friends of the Shelton Libraries, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supporting the library. Donations to either entity are tax deductible to the extent allowed by the law. We use monetary donations as you direct, and in general for: new materials, programming, technology, and services. Corporate sponsorships are also available.
