10 SIMPLE WAYS TO HELP THE LIBRARY

1. Attend a city or county commission meeting and take the opportunity to thank its members publicly for supporting the library.
2. Write a letter to a member of the city or county commission letting them know how much you value the library.
3. Speak up for libraries at community groups you belong to, such as the PTA, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, Garden Club, etc. Invite your library director or branch manager to attend a meeting and talk about your library’s services and its needs.
4. Send a letter to the editor of the newspaper expressing how important the library is to you and your community.
5. Join the Friends of the Library.
6. Volunteer your time. The library can always use extra hands so ask your local branch manager how you can help!
7. Consider a tax-deductible gift to the library. The library offers memorial programs which allow you to give in honor of a loved one.
8. Include the library in your estate planning.
9. Develop a short “elevator speech” (just a sentence or two) that will help you quickly explain to others why libraries are more important than ever and use it when you have an opportunity to encourage others to get involved.
10. Take a friend or relative, or even a class to the library. Show them what you enjoy about the library and encourage them to get a library card of their own.
