Your tax-deductible contribution makes the Talbot County Free Library more welcoming, better equipped, more convenient and a better place to learn and grow. Your gift helps young children discover the skills needed to learn to read, gives teens a place to study and engage their minds, and provides adults assistance and the resources needed to look for a job. Your support matters as it expands access for people of all ages to literacy, lifelong learning programs, and all of the wonderful resources available in your community library.
