The Wilsonville Public Library Foundation invites you to the 2024 Stay at Home and Read Fundraiser, Thursday, May 16 through Sunday, May 19, 2024. Relax in your favorite spot, read, and support your local library.
This year each donation will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous anonymous donor, doubling your impact. Donations can be made at Wilsonville Public Library or by clicking the button below.
“We hope you will join us for the 2024 Stay at Home and Read event and support the Wilsonville Public Library Foundation’s only fundraising event for the year. Spend an evening at home reading a great book, giving the money you would have spent on a night out to the library, and it will be matched by our generous donor.”
– Bob Renfro, President of the Wilsonville Public Library Foundation
WHEN:
Thursday to Sunday, May 16-19, 2024
WHERE:
Your cozy couch, in front of the fireplace, at the beach, or wherever you love to read.
HOW:
Choose a book, ebook, or audiobook from the library and make reading a special event. During the weekend, read an entire book; start that huge classic you’ve been meaning to read; or get your book club involved. Then, donate what you would have spent on a night at a restaurant, concert, or sporting event. Thanks to a generous donor, every donation will be matched, doubling your impact.
WHY:
The Wilsonville Public Library Foundation supports the great community programs for the library. As the foundation’s only fundraiser there is no better way to support your local library than by picking up a book and donating, knowing your donation will be matched. Your donation supports:
- Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
- Books and reading lessons with our outreach librarian for childcare centers, preschools, and primary schools.
- Science in August summer program
- Little Free Libraries
