Spring for Libraries
Annual Fundraising Campaign
We want to thank everyone who donated to our first annual Spring for Libraries fundraising campaign. Thanks to the generous donations of local community members and businesses we were able to raise $11,225.05 this year!
East Central Regional Library is excited to announce our first annual fundraiser, Spring for Libraries, which will run April 1-30, 2022!
Each branch of ECRL has put together a wish list of items or programs that will directly impact the patrons of their branch. Read more about each branch’s wish list and campaign goal below.
100% of your donation stays within the library branch of your choosing, and will go toward the wish list items specified by that branch.
First annual Fundraising Campaign
Join us for our first annual spring fundraising campaign, Spring for Libraries!
For this campaign, each library branch within ECRL has chosen specific wish list items that will directly impact that library’s patrons. Read more about each branch’s wish list items and campaign goals below.
From April 1-30th, 100% of your donation will go directly toward the campaign goal of the library of your choosing. Wish list items will be purchased once campaign goals have been met.
Donate in person at your library, or online to help your branch reach their goal!
