Sponsor a Donor Paver

Leave a Literary Legacy

Thank you for all those who supported McMinnville Public Library by sponsoring a donor paver. We are happy to announce that all pavers are funded.  Plaza renovation is set to begin in 2016!

Sponsor a donor paver at the entrance of the Library. The pavers will be engraved with your favorite book title and your name, and are designed to look like a book spine. You and your family can visit the paver at the entrance of the Library for decades to come.

A book title may be used only once.
