Thursday give and support your library

The second annual Library Giving Day on Thursday is an event that gives library lovers like you a chance to support the new La Conner Swinomish Library. Last year 192 library organizations from 39 US States and four Canadian provinces joined the #LibraryGivingDay movement and more than 4,200 donors contributed a total of $737,000.

In these unprecedented times, work continues here in La Conner on the planning and design for the new library. We’re still hopeful of breaking ground later this summer. And that’s thanks to the caring support of generous individuals like you. We met the construction funding goal last year with tremendous community support.

Our focus this year is on raising funds for the new library’s interior furnishings, fixtures and equipment for the community meeting/program room, children’s and teen areas, and the reading/living room of the library. This Library Giving Day, will you consider making a gift to support these needs?

We’re pleased to share that despite the uncertain times, the La Conner Library Foundation will be able to match all Library Giving Day gifts – dollar-for-dollar, up to $3,500 – through the end of April.

We know that times are tough right now – and you may not be able to participate in Library Giving Day. We understand. Please know that any gift, no matter how large or small, will support our new library - our new community center for lifelong discovery and inspiration for everyone we serve.

When you give, your support will go twice as far to help the new La Conner Swinomish Library be there for you in the fall of 2021, prepared to accommodate the changing times and the growing need for our many critical services.

On Library Giving Day, we can all come together as champions of our local library.

You may donate at laconnerlibraryfoundation.org or by mail to La Conner Library Foundation, PO Box 1025, La Conner, WA 98257.

If you have questions about Library Giving Day, please contact the La Conner Library Foundation, 360-466-3352 or email [email protected].

Thank you! We’re so grateful for your support.
