THE POWERFUL IMPACTS OF A PUBLIC LIBRARY RUN WIDE AND DEEP THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY – PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE.
The Ripon Public Library, originally formed as a private library in 1884, was turned over to the city and became a free public library in 1898. Since then, it has been a pillar in the Ripon area. With its 125-year milestone on the horizon, upgrades to the entire library campus will ensure its continued vibrance and further its ability to serve all.
In this age of technology libraries offer much more than books making them more vital and necessary than ever!
The constant resources and services the Ripon Public Library provides create opportunities for advancement, support, and growth for diverse ages and stages:
- Children learn through play and develop
literacy skills. - Teens find a safe place to be themselves.
- Young adults meet others with common interests.
- Parents connect and support each other.
- Seniors pursue new passions.
- Everyone comes together to enjoy music, art, and a sense of community.
Libraries “level the playing field” offering all people access to the tools they need to stay informed, educated, and connected.
Let’s continue to make the Ripon Public Library the best it can be. Leave your legacy through a gift that will benefit the entire community now and for years to come.
