Raise Your Hand For The Great Gives

Sent by: Jefferson County Library Cooperative, Inc. Reply to the sender

Pat Ryan, Executive Director Dear Library Friends: I hope you will become our "public partner" and make our first #TheGreatGive campaign a success! Our goal is to raise $10,000 over the span of two days, Tuesday, May 13 and Wednesday, May 14. The Public Libraries In Jefferson County are launching a campaign to raise money for cooperative services that link all of our 40 libraries under one card. You can donate by logging onto http://www.razoo.com/story/TheGreatGive. We need your help for this campaign as you send our message to all of your families and friends on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, or by forwarding our emails. We will be using #TheGreatGive to promote the campaign on social media sites. Please tell your friends about our downloadable collection of 20,614 eBooks and eAudiobooks. And don’t forget about all the wonderful programs for all ages that our 40 library locations plan weekly. Each local library and their city fund their local library (staff, building and operations). When you donate, you are helping us to link all of our libraries as part of our "40 Libraries . 1 County . 1 Card" cooperative system. Our computer system, online catalog and databases, internet connectivity and delivery service are all funded by the Jefferson County Library Cooperative, a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization. Please raise your hand today and commit to a partnership with your library cooperative which includes all 40 libraries in Jefferson County. Help us meet our goal of $10,000 over two days in May. Any amount you can give is appreciated! Sincerely, Patricia F.
