Thank You for Your Generosity
|
We at Providence Community Library thank you for all the generosity that you have shown us so far in this season of giving. During the week of Giving Tuesday we were thrilled to receive $4,700 from library supporters, and donations continue to arrive in response to our year-end giving campaign. Every dollar makes a difference and helps us to provide more materials, services and programs for the people of Providence.
If you haven't yet given to PCL but would like to do so, there is still time to make a donation
here.
Please give generously, and thank you again!
