Books for All campaign exceeds fundraising goal

The Friends' senior director of development reported the Books for All campaign exceeded its $62,000 goal, with gifts from 225 donors — including 36 first-time donors and even a $1 gift from a young patron — across all seven wards.

The Friends' communications director described the campaign's 'donate, dedicate, deliver' messaging, author ambassadors including William Kent Krueger, and the library activation kits that helped drive the successful result.
