Help us help
New Haven!
The Library
is participating in The Great Give® 2013. For 36 hours, from 8
am Oct. 2 through 8 pm Oct. 3, The Community Foundation of
Greater New Haven is staging its online fundraising competition,
the Give Greater Challenge.
This year there is $150,000 in grant awards,
including several $15,000 grand prizes in the categories of overall
money raised, the greatest number of donors, and the greatest number
of new donors.
We'll be back in touch as the contest begins, but for
now, please tell anyone who believes in the library's mission--supporting lifelong
learning, cultural connections, economic engagement and young minds--that
NOW is the time to help! Click here for more information!
