Help put books on our shelves!

Our Library is asking our communityLets Talk Books
to help us put books on our shelves.

We are thrilled to have partnered with Let's Talk Books Cobourg to create an online Wishlist of Books for our collections.

For every purchase you make from the Wishlist, you will receive a 15% discount, and if you spend $25 or more, you can get a tax receipt from the Library.

This is a great partnership, and encourages our community to support local business while also supporting the Cobourg Library.

 

Looking for a tax receipt? 

Contact our Admin Coordinator, Jocelyn, before purchasing
by email - jgard@cobourg.library.on.ca or
by phone 905-372-9271 ext. 6249
Other Ways you can help our Library succeed

  • Honour with Books - You can honour a friend or family member by making a gift in their name to the Library.  We will notify them of your generosity, and you will receive a tax receipt. 
  • A Bequest - Make a provision in your will bequeathing a portion of your estate to the Planned Giving Program.  Contact our CEO for more details by phone 905-372-9271 ext. 6200 or by email
  • Gifts of Life Insurance - Contribute by means of life insurance, naming the Cobourg Public Library as beneficiary.   A substantial gift may be made in return for modest payments throughout your lifetime.
