2019 Year End Annual Appeal |
What an amazing year 2019 has been so far! As we approach the holiday season, we are so grateful for YOU!
So far this year, our community has used the library by:
With a Community Grant from Walmart, we have successfully launched a new, bi-weekly Open Play program for children ages birth-5. Parents and children drop into the library every Wednesday and Friday morning between 10-12 to play with new toys (and books!) and to socialize and make new friends. This program helps extend a child's learning through play and has been very successful.
On October 9th, we hosted our First Annual Taste of Torrington. This event featured 16 Torrington restaurants and 10 CT liquor distributors, and was attended by 200 people. This fun and festive evening highlighted all that Torrington has to offer.
We are excited about what the next few months have to offer and how we can bring new, innovative, entertaining, and educational initiatives to YOU in 2020.
Our Year End Appeal officially launches on Giving Tuesday, which is December 3rd. We hope to raise $5,000 that day! An anonymous Angel Donor has pledged to MATCH all Giving Tuesday gifts! What does that mean? If you donate $100 on Giving Tuesday, our Angel Donor will match with an additional $100 donation, making the total contribution to the library $200! WOW!
Donating on Giving Tuesday is EASY! Visit our website at www.torringtonlibrary.org and click “Give Now!” or stop into the library. Don’t worry if you can’t give on December 3rd, the Year End Appeal runs through December 31st and you can donate ANYTIME! You can also complete the form below and mail it back to us.
We hope you’ll join our list of supporters in 2019.
Have a wonderful holiday season!
