New Outdoor Furniture
Northland Public Library is fortunate to be located at the top of Cumberland Road with beautiful views of the surrounding areas. Library patrons enjoy sitting outside with a good book or socializing with friends on warm days. Unfortunately, Northland’s current outdoor furniture has outlived its useful life, and we would like to purchase replacement furniture crafted of more durable and sustainable materials.
A donation at one of the following levels will allow the Foundation to purchase a new furniture item which can be affixed with a dedication plaque of your choice.
- Picnic Table – $2,000
- Adirondack Bench – $750
- Adirondack Chair – $350
For more information, please contact our Foundation Director Alexis McKinley at (412) 366-8100 x104 or mckinleya@northlandlibrary.org.
