The Pollard Memorial Library Foundation (PMLF) is celebrating its founding, almost 30 years ago, as a volunteer community-based organization. Since 1994, the Foundation has been enhancing public awareness and financial support of the Pollard Memorial Library through fundraising, advocacy, and dedication. This history is notable for the significant contributions made by a broad base of support. Your donation has an impact!
