Tilton Library’s budget for regular, ongoing
operations comes from stable tax support by
Deerfield voters. The Tilton Fund, and the
Friends of Tilton Library, both 501(c)(3) not
for profit organizations, conduct various fund
raising events throughout the year. In addition,
monetary gifts to the Library are welcome at
anytime.
Annual Appeal
Every year Tilton Library
trustees conduct an appeal for funds to help in
our continuing effort to offer the community the
very best books, services, programs and
facilities. In addition to supporting
traditional efforts, your gift will provide
funds to expand our collection and services so
that we are better able to meet the needs of an
increasingly diverse community. Watch for the
special bookmark available in November and check
with your employer about the possibility of
matching funds.
Memorial
Donations
Remember a family member or
friend with a gift for books or general support.
When the Library receives a cash gift for the
purchase of memorial books or collections, the
selection will be made by the Library. The name
of the donor or person memorialized will be
designated on a special bookplate at the request
of the donor.

Events
Spring Plant Sale
Each spring, the Board of
Trustees sponsors an annual plant sale at the
back of the Library. Donations of healthy plants
from area gardens are welcome on the day before
the sale. The sale is held rain or shine.
Wine Tasting
The first annual Deerfield
Spirit Shoppe and Chander’s Restaurant wine
tasting to benefit Tilton Library was held at
Chandler’s Restaurant in January, 2009. Seven
wine distributors and two microbreweries
provided tastes of more than 60 wines and brews
from around the world. Watch for announcements
for this fun event in 2010.

The Friends Book Sale begins
with a special members only night and
continues for several days during July of each
year. Book donations are accepted at the Library
