2025 Fall Fundraiser: Library-To-Go Lockers
As our community grows, so does the need for flexible, equitable access to library services. The library has the opportunity to bring new and innovative access to library materials through a Library-To-Go locker system that will be placed in an underserved area of Columbia. These self-service lockers provide extended access to library materials, ensuring that busy families, students and working adults can enjoy the benefits of the library on their own schedule. The total cost of this project is estimated at $43,000, making it one of the largest fundraising initiatives we’ve undertaken for a fall fundraiser. Library-To-Go lockers have proven to be a success in Hallsville and Holts Summit, with strong community usage and overwhelmingly positive feedback. Placing a new set of lockers in Columbia will build on this success and meet a demonstrated need for library access.
