The Board of Martin Library invites you to become a member of the Milton Martin Legacy Society. The Legacy Society was created to honor today those whose estate planning includes a gift to Martin Library.

Because government and corporate grant funding fluctuates, Martin Library depends heavily on private contributions. Bequests, both large and small, ensure the long range financial stability of the library. By leaving a legacy you have the satisfaction of knowing that you will enrich the lives of future generations.

Anyone can leave a gift! "Estate" is a word used to describe any money, property or personal belongings that you own at time of death. Many people set aside a certain dollar amount. Others leave a percentage of their estate or any assets left over after their family has been provided for. Some people choose to donate cash, securities, or personal property. Others leave life insurance policies, or funds from a retirement account or other financial asset.

Please let us know if you have made a provision for Martin Library in your will so we may include you in the Milton Martin Legacy Society!

Your gift may provide you with various tax advantages. All legacy funds are added to the endowment to be used in perpetuity. The principal remains untouched and the interest is used for purchasing library materials and continuing the ongoing program of the library.

If you have included Martin Library in your will or would like more information please complete the Legacy Society Interest Form or contact the development office at 717.846.5300 ext. 266, gsheets@yorklibraries.org.
