Give to East Central Regional Library

With the chill that's descended on Minnesota, we suspect many of you are cozying up with a good library book and reflecting on what you are thankful for. We hope that one of things you are thankful for are the many resources the library provides to you and your community. Would you consider a gift to support those resources?

As a dedicated reader of our newsletter, you understand the value of the services the library provides. You believe in your community. Libraries strengthen communities by connecting individuals with resources that enrich lives. Libraries connect communities with each other and the outside world. Libraries support opportunities to discover and grow with exciting programs and technology.

But even in Minnesota, where we love our libraries, public funding just isn't enough for libraries to provide all the important resources that our residents seek. Please consider making a financial contribution this holiday season.

To give to the library directly, please visit our online donation page. If you'd like more information or to give in another way please visit Give to ECRL. Your gift will allow us to provide resources, programs and technology to support and inspire. If you prefer to designate your gift to a specific branch location or service, please contact Carla Lydon, Executive Director at [email protected] or Pamela Fry, Fiance and Administration Manager at [email protected]. Or call 7 63-392-0662.

If you are looking for other ways to contribute, many of our branches have Friends groups that support the local branch. Visit Volunteer at the Library to find out more information about local Friends groups.

We, here at East Central Regional Library, are thankful for you and for the privilege of serving our communities for the last sixty years.
Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Carla Lydon, Executive Director
