Donate Stock To Friends of the Lake Bluff Library
Dear Friend,

Have you noticed the bumper crop of acorns this year? And we've all heard the phrase 'mighty oaks from little acorns grow'. Our own Lake Bluff Library is a lot like one of these acorns. It started out small but continues to grow, improve and keep up with the changing times. Fundraising by the Friends of the Lake Bluff Library plays a significant part in this effort.

In the last year alone, we sponsored the always popular Balloon Lady at two different events. Donuts for Dads and Jiggle Jam were two additional programs enjoyed by patrons. Did you receive a reward for completing the adult summer reading club? That's right --- the portable chargers and the Kindle were funded by the Friends. If you attended our fun-filled Mini Golf event in October, you may have seen the book bicycle. This too was generously purchased by the Friends to facilitate checkouts outside the library building.

Here's how you can help the Friends of the Lake Bluff Library, whose mission is to support and promote the library and to raise funds for special projects, programs and building needs as they arise, continue to improve our library. With your donation, future enhancements will ensure the library will be able to maintain its inviting atmosphere. We would deeply appreciate your participation in this community-wide fundraising effort. Won’t you take a moment today to complete the Friendship reply envelope enclosed? Alternatively, you can contribute online by using the DONATE button on the Friends of the Lake Bluff Library web page, Please remember to include your company’s matching donation form, if applicable. Being a 501(C) 3 organization, stock donations can also be accepted. Regardless of how you choose to donate, you can watch your dollars make a difference. Additionally, you can support the Friends through the Amazon Smile program.

Thank you for your support!
