There are so many ways to give!
Wifi Hotspot Program
Help us bridge the digital divide by providing free Internet access to Islanders in need. 100% percent of your donation goes directly towards the monthly data payments for the library’s Wifi Hotspot devices. These devices are loaned out to the public for free – all that is required in an active PEI Public Library Card!
Print Collections
100% of your donation will go towards the acquisition and purchasing of printed books for the library’s collection. The average cost of printed books for public libraries ranges between $8 to $30 per title. Prices are dependent largely on book format (i.e. hardcover, paperback, large print, etc).
Digital Collections
100% of your donation will go towards the acquisition and purchasing of eBooks or eAudiobooks for the library’s collection. The average cost of an eBook for public libraries ranges between $40 to $85 per title, while for eAudiobooks, prices can vary from $70 – $160 per title. Prices for digital materials are generally 4-5 times higher for public libraries, and access is normally limited (i.e. libraries can only purchase a title for a specific number of checkouts or for a specific time period).
Tech-Lending Kiosk
Help us bridge the digital divide by providing technology to Islanders in need. 100% percent of your donation will go towards the purchase of a Tech-Lending Kiosk for the Charlottetown Library. This Kiosk is a self‑service, automated machine that will allow library users to borrow, use and return laptops and tablets went visiting the library. These devices can be used for free – all that is required in an active PEI Public Library Card! Legacy Gifting
