Private-funding results are in for the first month of 2025. Let’s take a look…
This year’s target is $154,180. This figure is based on the projected gap between the budget and the funding provided by state and local municipalities.
In January, private funding totaled $7,120. Tee Time sponsorships of $3,185 and annual fund contributions of $2,580 made up the bulk.
The rest of last month’s total came from sales in the Friends’ Book Nook ($622), along with $397 in general donations (including the donation box), and cash receipts of $336 for printing, lost/damaged items, etc.
We’re happy to announce that all three local municipalities served by EPL have committed to funding the library in 2025. We appreciate their continued support.
Funding from the Commonwealth of PA will remain the same for 2025.
The combined state and local funding cover approximately 66% of EPL’s budget, with private funding responsible for the remaining 33%.
Check back next month for February results. In the meantime, here are two great ways to support the library:
- Tee Time at the Library — March 7 & 8: Two fun days to enjoy 18 rounds of mini-golf in the stacks with family and friends. Some awesome prize raffles have just been added as well! Get info and tickets here, or stop at the desk.
- Friends’ Annual Spring Used Book Sale — April 25 & 26: The Friends’ biggest fundraiser, filled with budget-friendly books, DVDs, CDs and puzzles for all ages.
Of course, there are lots of other ways to show your support throughout the year — all of which help us to make important services and programs available and free to everyone.
THANK YOU!
