Make a Donation

When you contribute to Dallas Public Library, your name, or the name of the person you choose to honor, will be printed on a bookplate and placed in a new item that will circulate throughout the Dallas Public Library System.


What your gift could buy:


Pet Memorial Fund

The Dallas Public Library Pet Memorial Fund was established in Dallas as a result of a cooperative between the library and the Texas Kennel Club. It is a lasting way to remember a beloved pet. Animal lovers, pet owners or friends wishing to donate may pick up a form at any Dallas Public Library location or send a check via mail:


Mail in my donation


The donation will be used to purchase library materials that provide information and enjoyment for animal lovers of all ages. A $25.00 minimum gift is necessary for acknowledgement in the Pet Memory Book and a bookplate in the book purchased. However, all gifts are greatly appreciated.
