Did you know the 74th Annual Chamber Dinner and Awards of the Downingtown-Thorndale Regional Chamber of Commerce is right around the corner? Join the Library on April 25th as we proudly receive the 2019 Non-profit/Community Organization of the Year award! We are so honored to have been both nominated and chosen- thank you to the Chamber and to those who nominated us! (More info on the dinner here: https://bit.ly/2FU3NK3) The hard work of the Downingtown Library’s wonderful staff, committed volunteers, dedicated Board of Directors, and tireless Friends of the Downingtown Library make the Library the valuable community resource it is- serving all in our communities.
Thank you to all of you, our patrons, for supporting us!
There is even more to celebrate in April, as well! April 7-13 is National Library Week, sponsored by the American Library Association- this year’s theme is “Libraries = Strong Communities.” How can you celebrate? Why not share your “library story” on social media, helping to communicate to your circle just how important you think your public library is, and why you love and use it! Maybe you and your little one love attending story time with Miss Jill- share a picture or two! Perhaps you found your newest favorite read after visiting the Downingtown Library? Why not post a video of your book review, and tag the Downingtown Library? Be sure to thank your favorite library worker on Tuesday, April 9- which is National Library Workers Day! The following day, please consider contributing to the Downingtown Library for a one-day national giving event- “Library Giving Day” on April 10- your generous contributions fund so many services, programs, and collections.
(Give online: www.bit.ly/GiveDtown)
Also, April 7-13 is also National Volunteer Week- we are so thankful for the many volunteers who contribute to the Library every day!
If you’re reading this, you’re most likely someone who cares about the mission of the Downingtown Library- and we thank you deeply for your support. The heart and soul of the Downingtown Library is people- all of you who use our services and those who work so hard to keep the place running. Thank you to all- you have made the Downingtown Library what it is today, a gem in the heart of Downingtown!
