Tomorrow, we invite you to join people around the world and unleash your generosity for #GivingTuesday. There’s no doubt that this year has been challenging, to put it mildly. Strong public libraries are critical to ensure that everyone in our community has access to the resources they need to thrive. Your support makes this work happen.

Below are five ways you can help on #GivingTuesday:
1. Give to the Library Foundation!
As we approach the end of the year, your support can help us meet our goals for supporting key Library programs like SJ Access, Career Online High School, and the Coding5K Challenge. If you've been considering a donation, #GivingTuesday is the perfect occasion! Learn more and give at sjplf.org.
2. Donate your used laptop!
In partnership with HP Inc., SJPL and the Foundation are hosting a device donation drive for students, families, and others in need. Starting tomorrow through Jan. 9, 2021, you can drop off your used laptop, tablet, or other device at any SJPL Express Pickup location from 1-6pm and get a receipt for a tax-deductible donation.
Learn more and find a branch near you at sjpl.org/LaptopDrive.
3. Start a fundraising page!
Want to increase your impact? With a few simple clicks, you can create your own web page to collect donations for the Library Foundation from your personal and professional networks. You can personalize the page with a photo (like this) or just connect it to our charity profile and start sharing! Learn more and create your page at JustGiving.com.
4. Follow us on social media and share our posts!
All day long on #GivingTuesday, we'll be sharing photos, videos, and other fun updates to encourage more people to give. Please follow the Library Foundation on your social media channels of choice, and like, RT, share, and repost to help us spread our reach. And when you post about #GivingTuesday, don't forget to tag us!
5. Take our donor survey!
Got 3 minutes? Please share your thoughts with us by responding to our donor survey by Thursday, Dec. 31. Your feedback will help inform this year's strategic planning process.
