Your Bequest; a Seed for the Future of the Library

Help the Caroline Chisholm Library flourish in the tough road ahead.

 

Have you considered leaving a financial legacy to the Caroline Chisholm Library? 

A bequest is a powerful way to secure the Library’s long-term future.

Many cultural organisations in Melbourne, like the Athanaeum Club and the Institute for Public Affairs, have benefitted from the generosity of members who have left legacies. These legacies have secured the long-term future of such organisations, especially when they have allowed them to purchase their own premises.

Ultimately, we too would like to purchase our own premises in the Melbourne CBD. This will free up rent money that we can use to develop the Library collection and to expand our range of culturalactivities.

Leaving a legacy is simple. All you need to do is make “The Caroline Chisholm Library Inc” a beneficiary of your will. Any amount, large or small, will help to secure the long-term future of the Library. (Note that we are no longer the Central Catholic Library, so that old name should not be used).

For more information please contact David Kennedy or Paul Nixon at the Library on 03 9670 1815.

The Discussion group on Wednesdays is just starting a new topic on the Virtue of Faith. It will be based on that section of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
