Want to leave a legacy of supporting your library and community for years to come? Consider planned giving which includes gifts you leave in your will or estate. Regardless of your age or stage in life, there are many ways you can include the Library Endowment Trust and the Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County in your plans. Planned giving donors have named the Library Endowment Trust as a beneficiary in their retirement plans, insurance plans, wills, and trusts.

Gifts of $10,000 or greater can be endowed within the Trust to create generations of support. Our gift policy provides additional information.
