Support BPL on Giving Tuesday Today, November 30

 

GivingTuesday is a movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world. 

GivingTuesday reimagines a world built upon shared humanity and generosity. This important day falls on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

Support GivingTuesday by making a donation to the Friends Foundation of the Birmingham Public Library. The Friends Foundation of the Birmingham Public Library fundraises to support programming, improve facilities, and purchase equipment that is beyond the library’s annual budget. 

The Foundation improves access to library resources—books and other reading materials, historical collections, educational programs, and technology—through the generous donations of individuals, foundations and corporations throughout the region. The Friends Foundation believes that increasing the reach of the Birmingham Public Library can substantially improve the lives of Birmingham citizens.

"The Friends Foundation of the Birmingham Public Library works throughout the year to help support the mission of the Birmingham Public Library," said Sandi Lee, president of the Friends Foundation of BPL.  "GivingTuesday is a wonderful opportunity to help support an organization that works in all our communities, providing resources and personalized help to all our citizens. We hope that you will take the time to make your gift today!" 

During this special time of year, please also take part in National GivingTuesday with this unique gift idea! Unwrap a Good Read by honoring a friend or family member with a gift to the Birmingham Public Library. 

Visit BPL's donation page, choose "Holiday Honorarium Gift Donation" from the drop-down menu, and then type in a mailing address for your gift honoree.

 Every donation you make helps the Birmingham Public Library buy needed materials that help our community, so please consider giving the gift of reading to multiple recipients on your holiday list. 

From all of us at BPL and The Friends Foundation of the Birmingham Public Library, THANK YOU and HAPPY GIVING TUESDAY!!!
