(October 15, 2009) As you know, public libraries in Ohio have seen a dramatic decrease in state funding this year. Minerva Public Library has cut back its spending in order to save money for an even greater expected decrease in 2010. We appreciate your support and have set up a Paypal account to make it even more convenient to donate to the library. Clicking on the Donate button will connect you with Paypal's secure server where you may make a donation in any amount you wish. All donations this year will be directed to the purchase of new materials for you to check out and enjoy. The library has no access to your credit card information, and is using Paypal's basic service to handle these transfers.
