People Make a Difference

 

In the face of economic challenges, Pierce County Library continues to offer resources and services people care about. Yet, for the third consecutive year, our library faces a multi-million dollar shortfall and must make tough decisions.

Some of the library's most popular services for children, outreach and adult learners are being severely cut back. I know that if you could make an impact in any of these programs, you would.

People make a difference. You can join with more than a thousand devoted Pierce County Library donors to make your gift do more.

Your gift this year will not only strengthen literacy, it will sustain our community. Here's how.

 

We can't rest until every child is prepared for school and ready to learn. Pierce County Library is a leader in early learning. Your annual gifts to the Foundation help children grow up reading and achieving success in school.

 

 

When the economic downturn hit Washington, libraries were the "first responders." With your gift, you lend a hand to help hundreds of Pierce County's unemployed find jobs.

 

 

Hundreds of people living in care facilities or homebound find thier connection to the outside world in books...and the outreach librarians who visit each month. your caring gift reaches out to the elderly by helping to fund this enduring Pierce County Library service.

 

 

Whether your last, great story was told to you in hardback book, a paperback or large print edittion, on an ereader, phone or computer, a talking book CD or a movie, Pierce County Library keeps its collection of books and resources vital and diverse. Your annual gifts refresh the library's resources by targeting special collections.
