Friends Funding to Library 2006

Friends of the Selinsgrove Community Library’s 2006 donation to Snyder County Libraries totaled an impressive $12,513, to fund:

 *       The library’s 2007 “Wish List” ($10,413):

Ø       Funding which allows the library to receive the Preschool Connection Grant from the Office of Commonwealth Libraries for 2007.  The library will receive $3,000 for preschool programs and parent and child resources.

Ø       Add-ons to the new Integrated Library System Polaris to enhance the benefits of the system.  The five receipt printers and the hardware and software for the inventory manager system will maximize the benefits of Polaris and allow for the implementation of improved procedures to better serve patrons.

Ø       Assistance in funding the upcoming 2007 Summer Reading Program.  Each year hundreds of children in Snyder County participate in this program which allows them to maintain their reading levels over the summer, connect with their community library and discover the joys of reading.

*       An April donation towards the 2006 Summer Reading Program ($2,000)

*       $100 donated to provide refreshments to patrons while participating in  various library programs, including the 30th birthday celebration of the Snyder County Library system.

Since 2003, Friends of the Selinsgrove Community Library has contributed $38,978 to the Snyder County Libraries.  Many of the enhanced collections, programs and services that are acquired through these donations benefit all of the Snyder County libraries.
