We have no funding from the synagogue budget but rather depend on contributions to the Library fund for book dedications. Thank G-d we have had a long history of generous donors which have continuously grown our extensive collection over 25 years. As is the case in many organizations, some donors attach themselves to certain projects so we see recurring donations from a small percentage of the Shul and infrequent contributions from a wider pool. We have also done special projects for major purchases at times and approached donors for the dedication opportunity. This included expanding the infrastructure of our Beis Medrash with multiple Built-ins added over time.
