Friends Funding to Library 2007

In 2007 Friends of the Selinsgrove Community Library’s donated an impressive $12,753 to Snyder County Libraries to fund:

The library’s 2008 “Wish List” ($12,000) See their Wish List below:

$3,000 Summer Reading
$3,000 is needed to fund our summer reading program. Last year 3,000 books were read by children in our community because the Friends of the Library and community businesses cared enough to sponsor our reading program.

$500 Family Place

$500 is needed annually to provide yearly upgrades to our Family Place as part of our preschool connection grant. Upgrades will include new materials for our pre-reading learning stations, books, free play materials and program expenses.

$3,000 Adult Collection Materials

$3,000 is needed to enable us to purchase multiple copies of best selling titles. Each month, long hold lists are created for new best selling fiction. Purchasing more than one copy of these popular titles will help to meet the demands of our vivacious readers!

$1,500 Discovery Backpacks

$1,500 will purchase 15 discovery backpacks and backpack holder for children to check out at the library. Discovery backpacks have books, activities, learning materials for pre and primary school children. They each explore themes such as music, bugs, telling time, feelings, art etc.

$1,100 Senior Information Center

$1,100 is needed to create a new information center display for our senior patrons. Important federal updates, local events, and new resources will be available in this new information center.

$2,000 Periodical Storage & $900 Newspaper Storage

$2000 is needed to purchase new furniture to house our current periodicals and $900 is needed to purchase new furniture to house newspapers. Currently both resources are housed in oversized stacks that block the flow of the library.

$350 in community funding to receive a grant from the Libri Foundation, which will place award-winning literature in the hands of our community's children by purchase of over a thousand dollars worth of children's books.

$52.97 for the purchase of three children's books honoring Tree Fest 2006 winners.

$350 donated to provide refreshments for various library-related events, including an open house to welcome the new Executive Director, Pam Ross.

Since 2003, Friends of the Selinsgrove Community Library has contributed $52,000 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.
