#GivingTuesday
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and #GivingTuesday – there are many ways you can be part of something big this year and give back to your public library!
On December 3rd, join other friends and fans of the library and give your time, your donations, and your support. #GivingTuesday is a great way to spread the word about what makes the library great!
And, it’s as easy as A-B-C:
Announce your support! Let those around you know you support and value the Andover Public Library. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Use the hashtag #WeLoveAPL to let everyone know why you support public libraries.
Bring in unwanted books, DVDs, games, etc and donate them to the library! Items that we are unable to place in our collection will be sold at our bi-yearly Friends of the Library book sales, which directly benefit library programs.
Commit to joining the Friends of the Library! For only $25 you can support the library’s summer reading programs, STEAM events, story times, and other great library programs!
Now, celebrate that you’ve made a difference to the Andover Public Library!
Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Reading Challenge: A Book Published in 2019
The 2019 Reading Challenges are here! Are you struggling with what to read in the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Reading Challenge categories? We can help! Throughout the year, we will highlight several juvenile, YA, and adult fiction (or non-fiction) books in most of the categories.
