The Vienna Public Library is an independent municipal library, established in 1955 by the Vienna Woman’s Club, run by volunteers until 1967, when it
became an independent nonprofit corporation. Today’s donors can continue to contribute to this legacy. Planned gifts will become a major source of support for the Library’s funds for many years. These gifts come in many forms, including bequests, charitable gift annuities, and insurance policies. A legacy gift may provide you with an ideal opportunity to support the Library at a higher level than you might have thought possible.
