Estate planning is an important task, although many postpone the process for a variety of reasons. August is National Make-A-Will Month: a month dedicated to thinking about the future and how you can protect it.
The library has many resources to help with estate planning, along with opportunities to become part of the Legacy Society and ensure the library’s future growth and success. Use National Make-A-Will Month to thoughtfully protect the legacies of both your family and your community.
