2018 Year End Appeal |
2018 might be over, but it's never too late to celebrate and support your library! According to the American Library Association two-thirds of people say that if their public libraries were closed, it would have a major impact on their communities.
What would our community look like if the Torrington Library didn’t exist?
Over 36,000 people wouldn’t have access to:
This is only a fraction of what our community would miss. We cannot imagine life without our library, can you? This is why your support is vital to the Torrington Library.
In the past you have given more so we can do more for Torrington and the Northwest Corner. Will you continue to support the Torrington Library again so that we can continue to engage, enrich, and empower our beloved community?
It's almost time to close out our 2018 Year End Appeal. If you haven't contributed yet, we hope that you will consider giving a gift to the library.
Your gift will allow us to continue to provide all of the services mentioned above and more!
Thank you for your continued support of the Torrington Library and we hope to see you soon!
Warm wishes,
Charles W. Roraback, Jessica Gueniat,
President Director
