Midwinter Header 2022

Our public library is here to make a difference for our community and our patrons, no matter their age or stage of life. And we can’t do it without you!

From wide-eyed toddlers visiting for their first story time, to high schoolers planning for their future, or adults applying for jobs online, in search of a fresh start… these are just a small part of the services we’re able to provide, thanks to your support.

With that in mind, we’re asking that you help the library by making a contribution to our Midwinter Fundraiser. If you’ve never attended this event or have been unable to donate in the past, here’s why your support is so important —

The Midwinter Fundraiser raises critical funding —in fact, the ONLY funding —for all of the programming and events that we provide throughout the year. YOU are the only contributors to these vital programs!

In the past year, the funding raised through our midwinter event helped us offer:

  • “An Ocean of Possibilities” summer reading program designed for children, teens and adults
  • Storytime with Santa and Mrs. Claus, Halloween Read and Treat, and several themed activities to entertain little ones
  • Mindful Autumn – a series of workshops focused on nurturing mind, body and spirit
  • Life Beyond High School– a six-part, in-person program to help participants explore career and academic options
  • “Read to a New You” – an adult winter reading challenge inspired by New Year’s Resolutions, complete with prizes
  • And so much more!

The future of the library is bright and we have much to look forward to this year! As we get ready to open our new, modern teen space, our staff is focused on developing creative ways to attract and engage the youth in our community. We’re excited to provide them with a safe, inclusive and welcoming space to socialize, learn and grow.

But without your help and the support we raise through our Midwinter Fundraiser, these programs will not become a reality…

We’re asking you to please make a donation to support our library programming. Donate whatever you would spend during our regular event on admission, games, raffle tickets and additional donations – maybe even more! Your investment in the library’s Midwinter Fundraiser is critical to providing services that our community relies on and looks forward to each year.

Since we’re unable to host our event this year, please take a few minutes to make your gift today, knowing that your donation allows us to keep these important programs on our calendar.
