Dear Library Friends: #TheGreatGive had a wonderful day yesterday! We are so appreciative of those who logged onto our fundraising site and were able to make a donation to The Public Libraries in Jefferson County yesterday. However, if you haven’t had the chance to logon and make a donation yet, there is still time to do so! We invite you to visit http://www.razoo.com/story/TheGreatGive and consider making a donation to The Public Libraries in Jefferson County today. 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. We also invite you to take a "selfie" with your library card and post it to your social media pages to celebrate the campaign. Feel free to use #TheGreatGive when you post your picture, and we will randomly select our favorite selfies to post on our Jefferson County Library Facebook page. Our goal for #TheGreatGive campaign is to raise $10,000. We need your help for this campaign, so feel free to send our message to all of your families and friends on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, or by forwarding our emails. The Jefferson County Library Cooperative is a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization; so all donations will be tax-deductible. Don’t forget to watch our newly launched JCLC video here: http://youtu.be/9sNCd7uHPBw Thank you for partnering with us for #TheGreatGive! Sincerely, Patricia F.
