A Summer of Stories: Celebrating Our Donors and Inviting You to Join the Tale

A Summer of Stories: Celebrating Our Donors and Inviting You to Join the Tale

As the pages turn and the days lengthen, the Glendale Library’s Summer Reading Challenge emerges as a beacon of hope and learning in our community. It’s a narrative woven by the collective efforts of those who believe in the transformative power of reading.

We extend our deepest thanks to the pillars of our story:

Their contributions have set the stage for a summer of exploration, growth, and connection, ensuring that our program’s impact is as enduring as the stories it inspires.

The Plot Unfolds: With their support, we’re crafting a summer script filled with materials, incentives, book giveaways, performers, and community events. Each element is a promise to children, teens, and adults—a vow to enrich their summer days and illuminate their futures with the light of knowledge.

The Power of Community: At the core of our success is the belief that community is the cornerstone of change. In this spirit, we extend an invitation to you. Join us in this noble endeavor to nurture a love for reading and foster educational excellence. Your support can help us continue this vital work, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to return to school with a stronger foundation and a renewed zest for learning.

Your Role in Our Story: Together, we can author a legacy of literacy that will resonate for years to come. Will you consider joining this circle of kindness and become a part of our story? Any gift, no matter the size, will help make an indelible impact on our community.

Our Gratitude: Thank you for contemplating this opportunity to make a meaningful difference. We eagerly anticipate the chance to welcome you into our community of supporters, where every contribution writes a line in our shared story of success.

Join us as we celebrate our Glendale library system.

National Library Week 2024: Ready, Set, Library!

The theme for National Library Week 2024 (April 7-13) is Ready, Set, Library! National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature and Newbery and Pura Belpré-award winning author Meg Medina will serve as 2024 Honorary Chair.

“I’m thrilled to serve as the honorary chair of National Library Week for 2024! Libraries connect our communities and enrich our lives in ways we may not realize, and one of my greatest pleasures is discovering the unexpected and beautiful things libraries offer. From book groups to lending sports equipment to providing a safe after-school hangout space and so much more, libraries support us wherever we find ourselves on the roadmap through life’s journey. Join me and the American Library Association in celebrating the gift of libraries everywhere and the adventures and opportunities they unlock for us every day. Ready, Set, Library!”
