The private-funding thermometer rose by $5,713 in June, bringing the total for the year to $55,295, or 35.9 percent of the goal.
General gifts (including the donation box) totaled approximately $4.4K and included a donation from the Emmaus Lioness Lions Club–much appreciated. We also received a $520 donation from the Friends to support Summer Reading Club–thanks Friends!
Sales in the Friends’ Book Nook added nearly $700, with cash receipts of almost $500 for lost/damaged books, printing/copying, and room rentals rounding out the rest.
At the halfway point for the year, the gap to the goal stands at $98,885. Check back next month for July results.
Want to help the library meet its goal in the meantime? Please consider making a one-time or recurring monthly donation. You can also volunteer, shop at the Friends’ Book Nook for great bargains on books and puzzles, or even buy some beautiful art from our exhibits by local artists (see below). A portion of each sale benefits the library, plus your purchase also supports the arts.
