April 10th, 2019 is the first ever Library Giving Day, an international fundraising event intended to generate support for public libraries. The Library Endowment Trust is helping raise funds to help build and replenish early readers and board books throughout the system. At 10:30 this morning, we're already at $8,000! 

On Wednesday, April 10th, the Library Endowment Trust will be focused on raising funds during the inaugural Library Giving Day Campaign. The campaign will take place during National Library Week, April 7-13, and is part of an international movement to stimulate gifts and awareness for public libraries. Funds raised as part of the Trust's participation in the campaign will be used to support collection development - specifically funding costs to replenish and build our collection of early readers and board books throughout the system.
