Petersburg Public Library Endowment Fund
Our Endowment is a permanent fund - the principal is invested and only the investment earnings are spent.

With that goal reached, the fund now provides a stable, ongoing funding source to improve and expand the programs and services provided by the Library in our new facility. The fund is held and managed by the Alaska Community Foundation.
Gifts of $100 or more can be acknowledged on the library's Fishing Wall.
