#GivingTuesday at the Library

#GivingTuesday at the Library

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

How can I give to the library?

• Donate your gently used books and DVD’s when you do a clean-out. Donated books support the bookstore and other yearly programming
• Donate your time by volunteering with the Friends of the CDA Public library to work in the bookstore or help with Friend’s programming
• Donate your funds by attending the Library Foundation’s fundraiser events (such as concerts or author readings), by purchasing books at the bookstore, or by donating to the Library Foundation here: cdalibrary.org/about/library-foundation
• Shop with Amazon and with every eligible purchase, AmazonSmile donates 0.5% to the Coeur d’Alene Public Library Foundation at no cost to you!
