Donor Designated
Funds
The HCPL Foundation will continue to provide
opportunities for individuals and businesses
to contribute to specific campaigns. To
that end, we have established funds for each
of
our 11 branches to allow donors to designate
their dollars to their local branch.
• Memorials & Tributes: Individuals
may elect to give a monetary
gift to the HCPL Foundation for the purchase
of books at their
local branch. Funds will be given to the
Materials Management
Department to select appropriate titles.
Donors will be acknowledged
in a bookplate inside the book. What a wonderful
way to
celebrate a birthday, anniversary or graduation
this year!
• Unrestricted Gifts: Individuals and
businesses may elect to give
a monetary gift to the HCPL Foundation without
restriction for use
at their local branch. This allows the Foundation,
working with
the Branch Manager, to identify an appropriate
use of the funds.
What a wonderful way to purchase incentives
for a program or to
bring a visiting author in for a book signing!
This year, the HCPL Foundation was proud
to be included in the Harford County
Public Library's strategic planning
process. The new plan, highlights
a number of objectives for the system over
the next three to five years. We are particularly
interested in the
Library's goal of supporting innovation
in all areas of the organization. This effort
will undoubtedly spark new and exciting
partnerships. We look forward to engaging
our business partners in the technology field
and in responding to the emerging
needs of new residents relocating here as
a result of the BRAC (Base
Realignment and Closure) Commission.
There are wonderful opportunities to contribute
to our annual initiatives, which
are outlined under Giving
Opportunities.
Those initiatives include the
Summer Reading Program, Winter Reading Program,
Silver Reader and our annual
Gala event. |
