Canterbury Public Library

LAST WEEK!

Father's Day Challenge

Make a donation to the library in honor of your father or someone else in your life!

All donations received by June 16th will be matched dollar-for-dollar by an anonymous library patron!

The Friends of the Canterbury Library is very pleased to announced that we have received a donor challenge from an anonymous long-time member. The member, who credits their father for inspiring a life-long interest in reading and library patronship, has agreed to match, dollar-for-dollar (up to $1,000), any contributions made to the Friends of the Library in honor or in memory of their fathers. Contributions must be made between now and Father's Day, June 16, 2013.

We hope that as many people as possible will take advantage of this very generous challenge and, essentially, double any contributions you can make to our organization. The Friends of the Canterbury Library's purpose is to raise funds that help the Canterbury Library improve its collections, programs, and facilities.

Contributions can be mailed to 'Friends of the Canterbury Library, P.O. Box 453, Canterbury, CT 06331' with a note identifying the honored father. Contributions can also be made through our online WishList here, through the PayPal donate button below, and a contribution jar located in the library itself.

All honored fathers (along with the donor's name, with their permission) will be posted in the Library after Father's Day. Any questions about this Father's Day Challenge can be directed to Steve Orlomoski, President of the Friends of the Canterbury Library, at 860-546-6669.
