| What
is the Literary Society?
The
Literary Society is made up of people who have included
the St. Charles Public Library Foundation in their
estate plan because they believe in the importance
of literature and reading, access to information,
and the promotion of cultural awareness.
Why
is the Literary Society important?
The
Literary Society is important because books and information
technology are costly and changing in today's society.
Most of the library's operating budget must be dedicated
to books and other library materials, information
professionals, and electronic resources. Financial
support from the people served by the Library is needed
to maintain the highest quality library service.
The
Literary Society allows the Library Foundation to
recognize and personally thank people who make this
commitment.
How
will these estate gifts be used?
Unrestricted
gifts will become part of the Foundation Endowment
Fund. Interest from the Fund will be used to enhance
and enrich Library collections, services, and programs.
What
are the benefits of making an estate gift to the Library
Foundation?
An
intangible but major benefit is the satisfaction of
making a significant contribution to the cultural
life of our community. Another important, more tangible,
benefit is reduction of estate and probate costs and
death taxes.
