THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! |
|
Loud in the Library 2021: Dine to Donate has concluded and it was a big success again, raising funds for the library despite the challenges of this year. However, we sure missed seeing everyone! Thanks to all those who participated and spread the word to family and friends! Donations are still coming in, but it looks like the total amount raised was $8,188.98! EatStreet shared with us that it was the biggest fundraiser they have ever done. The success of this event is thanks to all of you for your donations to your local public library. Thank you also to Davin Renner of Monona East Side Business Alliance (MESBA) for the great idea and support; to our friends at EatStreet, the only locally owned delivery service; to our sponsor, Monona Bank; and to The Friends of Monona Public Library for their matching grant.
Loud in the Library 2022 planning will start this summer. Look to our website or Facebook page for updates in the coming months!
