Subject: Locally Growin’ Campaign Begins March 1st
Spring is here! “Locally Growin’,” the fundraising campaign at Great River Regional Library (GRRL), runs Monday, March 1st through Wednesday, March 31st, 2021.
Our Locally Growin’ campaign keeps donations 100 percent within the branch library of the donor’s choosing. Each library selects a specific “wish” item and a campaign goal. Over $20,000 was raised around the region in 2019 to support a wide variety of goals. Our campaign was cut short in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 closure, so we look forward to making a big difference this year! Each library’s goal is unique and focuses on its community interests and needs. A few exciting wishes that libraries are raising money for this year include the following:
- Have a collection of books to make reading approachable for children, like juvenile large print books.
- Provide children with library book bags when they get their first library card.
- Add Try-It-Yourself Kits to their collection.
- Extend a welcome to residents who haven’t visited or known about their library.
These are just a few of our libraries’ wishes. Stop by to learn what is growin’ at your local library!
