Having achieved community managed library status we now have to be self-financing. We are very grateful to Long Buckby Parish Council who have agreed to pay for the annual lease costs but we otherwise have to find the funds to keep Buckby Library & Hub open. These include, for example, heat and light, insurance, legal fees, website, wifi and email costs, repairs and renewals, training and so on. We want to expand the activities on offer and encourage more visitors from surrounding parishes and to do so we need support.
Please help! You can give one-off, regular or annual donations by standing order through your bank, building society or post office.

- Legacy Giving: Naturally your first priority is taking care of your family and loved ones but leaving a gift in your Will is also a wonderful way to provide for causes and places you love. And your gift is more than a donation: it is part of the legacy you’ll leave to future generations in your local community. Free confidential information and advice regarding Wills can be found at Citizens Advice https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/family/death-and-wills/wills/
- Gift Aid: We can claim a further 25% on your donation if you are a tax payer and have paid at least the equivalent of the 25% within a tax year. We will ask you to sign a Gift Aid declaration form.
