135th Birthday Appeal for the NG Library

Dear New Gloucester Community,

Next month, the New Gloucester Public Library will be 135 years old! What an accomplishment! In recognition of this important landmark, the Friends of the New Gloucester Library are introducing a matching appeal to do what we do best: support the mission of the Library.

The Happy 135th Birthday Match Appeal is our way to present a wonderful gift to the Library at its Birthday Party on March 12th. The Friends’ goal is to offer a 1:1 match up to a total of $2,000 for this appeal. That’s a potential goal of $4,000! The appeal helps the Library in its quest to purchase books to bring it up to the standard suggested for a community of our size.

For your convenience, donations can be made through PayPal or Venmo on the Friends’ website at https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8Ryd1IPhjp  You do not need to have a PayPal account or log in to use the PayPal site, just a debit or credit card.  *Please note: There are no fees on the PayPal Giving Fund. There will likely be a small fee if you use Venmo.

If you prefer, you may send us a check at this address: Friends of the New Gloucester Library, P.O. Box 321, New Gloucester, ME 04260.  Just note what it is for on the check’s memo line. 

Finally, this contribution is fully tax deductible and is separate from our Friends’ membership. The deadline for Birthday Match donations is March 15, 2023.

Thank you for your continued support of the New Gloucester Public Library!

The Friends of the New Gloucester Library Board of Directors
