This week, Shreve Memorial Library Foundation is joining the library in celebrating National Library Week, a week to highlight the many ways libraries provide places to connect with others, opportunities to learn new skills, and the green light to experience something truly special. As part of the National Library Week celebration, join us today, April 11 as we celebrate Take Action for Libraries Day. Take Action for Libraries Day is a day for all library advocates to affirm their participation in 2024 elections. Libraries are nonpartisan, but they are not indifferent. Libraries play a critical role in our democracy, encouraging readers, educating voters, and preparing all of us to participate in elections. Learn more about Take Action for Libraries Day here.

Tax season often creates a lot of stress. One option to counter that stress level is the joy found through giving. Many of us don’t expect a refund, so any extra money gives us the feeling that we’ve ‘found’ some money that we never expected to have. If you’re getting a refund, you may want to start thinking about the charities that are important to you and set aside part of your refund for those charities. Giving to a qualified charity, such as the Shreve Memorial Library Foundation, can count toward your charitable tax dedication when you file in 2025. Giving makes anyone happy. Share the joy giving brings and help others through your generosity by giving to a cause you care about. To give online to Shreve Memorial Library Foundation, go to www.shrevememoriallibraryfoundation.org and click on the DONATE NOW button.
