........... *SAVE THE DATE* Jefferson County Library Cooperative to Host First Annual “The Great Give” Fundraising Campaign Tuesday, May 13 & Wednesday, May 14 Online Campaign Will Benefit 40 Local Municipal Libraries The Jefferson County Library Cooperative is announcing plans for this year’s online fundraising campaign, “The Great Give.” It will take place on Tues., May 13 and Wed., May 14 and will help further the important work of the 40 municipal libraries in the Jefferson County area. “It is hard to think of life without the library cooperative,” said Patricia Ryan, Jefferson County Library Cooperative Executive Director. “That is why we are so excited to share news about The Great Give campaign. We can’t wait to celebrate the difference the community’s generosity will make in May. It's two extraordinary days to support the 40 Public Libraries In Jefferson County that make our area special, and it provides the opportunity for local residents to make a real impact.” Due to extreme funding cuts over the past several years, the library cooperative is using the campaign for continued assistance to keep the “40 Libraries. 1 County. 1 Card.” system alive. The Jefferson County Library Cooperative works behind-the-scenes to coordinate the services that link our 40 libraries with “one card” for everyone in the county. The core services made available to all county residents are as follows: Nearly 2 million items in 40 libraries countywide In person, or online holds on items at any library in the county Delivery service - the items residents want where they want to pick them up 24/7 catalog, downloadable audio (7,174) & E-books (13,440) Information databasesInternet access – Free WiFi available in 40 libraries Books-By-Mail for the homebound IT Support for member libraries The Great Give fundraising campaign will assist the library cooperative as it works to continue linking our 40 libraries with Jefferson County residents.
