Giving Tuesday!

What a weird year. Every one of us has experienced change on levels we never imagined, and we have had to learn to adapt. Adapting is easier for some than others and can be scary for all.

Topsham Public Library has also adapted and changed the way we do things, but we have not changed our mission, and our desire to help you receive the services you need remains constant.

GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that
encourages people to do good. Over the past 8 years, this idea has
grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of
millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

Giving Tuesday is an annual opportunity for people to give to their favorite nonprofits. It is always the Tuesday after Thanksgiving which this year is December 1st. May we ask you to reimagine the ways in which you support Topsham Public Library? Perhaps you have supported us through volunteering or supplying books for the book sale, but with Covid, those avenues of support have been slim to nonexistent. Maybe that support could be shown through your gift through Giving Tuesday.

Our goal is to raise $1,000 on December 1st. Any donation amount is helpful for reaching that goal and greatly appreciated. Here’s how you can support your library on GivingTuesday…

On December 1st:

  • Visit our DONATE page and give in any amount you are able. For donations of $50 or more, we will add a dedication book plate to a new book in our collection. Please select the “tribute gift” option and let us know your special message.

The support from our community has always been overwhelming. So many of you, since our reopening, have told us how much it means that we are back. In these uncertain times there may be some of you who just can’t donate right now, and we understand, but if there are those of you who can help us meet our $1000 goal it would be so appreciated.

Thank you and hope to see you at Topsham Public Library!
