Dear Capitan Public Library Patron,

Capitan Public Library is a nonprofit organization run by volunteers, devoted to making public library services available to the Capitan/Lincoln County region.  We provide the highest quality programs that benefit all residents in our villages and the surrounding areas.  A few of these are: Children’s After School Program & Summer Reading Program; Adult First Friday Programs, Sunday Sessions, Book Club, Writer’s group & Ancestry Classes; free internet access, computer help and community meeting rooms. Our Library also serves as the community Visitor’s Center where many visitors stop in for suggestions on what to do in Lincoln County. The Capitan Library receives limited local or state government support. 

We are asking you to consider supporting our cause.  The 2018 campaign goal is $6,000.  Funds from the campaign will be used to pay utilities, building maintenance also to expand and enhance our existing programs.  Capitan Public Library relies primarily on the support of generous donors such as you.  Become an annual donor or a business partner. 

Your support will be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please feel free to call 354-3035 or come by the library.  We look forward to serving you and our community. 
Sincerely,

Friends of the Capitan Public Library
