The need is great. Due to health and safety restrictions, all planned fundraisers for the Library were cancelled this year. Nearly all initiatives of our Friends group have also been temporarily postponed to protect vulnerable members from risk. Our passport office, a critical source of funding, has been inactive for months and is only now reopening for limited appointments.
The Read-a-Thon is a virtual celebration of literacy within the Southern End!
Whether or not you are able to financially support this event, please enjoy watching local patrons as they read from their favorite selections for the community.
We also thank JP Robinson, whose video unfortunately was not able to be posted due to technical problems during the segment. JP read from his popular work In the Shadow of Your Wings (Logos)
All donations of $25 or more will receive a gift bag tote with “Imagine Your Story” themed merchandise and an exclusive staff-designed votive candle to commemorate the day!
$50 or more will also receive donor’s choice of a signed copy of one of our visiting authors’ published work!
