Dear Friend,
Unexpected changes in once reliable funding from government organizations and foundations have left libraries struggling. That means we need to increase our efforts because our neighborhoods and communities rely on libraries for free access to books and computer and to gatherings for readings and meetings. Here’s our ask: Declare your continued support! Renew your membership, encourage others to join, make an extra gift to remember a friend, or honor someone you admire. FOSAPL won’t cure cancer, or house the elderly, or invent flying cars, but we support our libraries where potential geniuses of all ages can get inspired. You can help! |
Your Support is Appreciated
