Friends of the Chandler Public Library
The Season of Friendship is upon us.
During this time of gratitude and giving, the Friends of the Chandler Public Library thank those that have donated in the past, and once again ask for your annual support. A gift to the Friends is a powerful way to strengthen library programs and services that you enjoy, and fund efforts that build a better community. It is through generous individual, employee giving and matching gifts that the Friends of the Library has been able to sponsor the Library’s Grab and Go Kits, PressReader, Adult Literacy, Early Literacy, Our Stories, Read to Succeed, Summer Reading Challenge and so much more.
Your gift today makes an immediate and long-standing impact and ensures the Library’s resources are robust, allowing the Library to continue to meet the needs of people of all ages and interests. Please consider a one-time gift, or even a reoccurring gift, in support of your library. Your gift, your library.
