Donate Funds
The Royal Oak Civic Foundation is a non-profit that solely supports the City of Royal Oak, which includes the Royal Oak Public Library. Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by the IRS. On their site, you can donate using your credit/debit card, digital wallet or bank account. Donations are used to supplement taxpayer support that provides additional funding for library resources, programs, and furnishings, as well as circulating materials that benefit our community.
You can donate directly to the Royal Oak Public Library, but these donations are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Please consult your tax preparer for details. You can send a check directly to the library at:

You can also donate to the Friends of the Royal Oak Public Library by becoming a member or donating funds.
