In addition there will be donation tables at Safeway and other area businesses on designated weekends. Board and staff members will be making presentations to area organizations and contacting individuals who have helped with fund-raising efforts in the past. The committee would be happy to hear any ideas for fund-raising that you may wish to share with them or to arrange for presentations at groups to which you belong. Your donations to this effort will be appreciated. All donors will receive a button indicating that they have contributed to the Book Boost.
Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Both the Library Board and the Council agree that this is to be a one-time effort, and this it is not the way to fund library collections over the long haul. If you do not feel you can make a monetary contribution to this effort but would like to volunteer or help at one of the events or donation tables, please contact committee chair, Sarah Muirhead or Linnea Patrick, Library Director. In short, we refuse to feel cursed by all the interesting developments. We see, rather, a number of challenges that offer us new opportunities for service to the people of Port Townsend. We will need your help in ways that seem appropriate to the Friends as an organization and to each of us as individuals.
