Support the Lee County Library System

There are many ways in which you may support the Library! The Lee County Library System’s most pressing need at this time is funding for our annual Reading Festival event.  The Southwest Florida Reading Festival serves as a tool to inform people of the variety of amazing resources available for free from their public libraries.  Each year, one third of the 15,000 people attending the festival learn something new about library services!

Wills & Bequests

Including the Library in your will allows you to carry your commitment to the Library beyond your lifetime. Your attorney, accountant or trust officer will work with you to design a bequest that fits your situation and meets your goals. A professional will also make sure you receive the tax benefits allowed for your gift. If you already have a will, it may be amended by a codicil to include the Library. The following is sample bequest phrasing:

I bequeath (Dollar Amount, Percentage or Remainder) to the Lee County Library System’s Endowment Fund held by the Southwest Florida Community Foundation in Fort Myers , Florida.
