Library Giving Day

This year’s goal is to give books to kids and teens in Spokane County to kick off summer reading at SCLD. Each youth who registers for summer reading will receive a new book of their very own that they can keep.

To achieve this, the Foundation has set a goal of $5,000 for Library Giving Day.

Reading is an important skill that is used throughout life that can improve focus, memory, learning, empathy, and communication skills.

The Summer Reading Program at SCLD encourages kids to maintain or improve their reading skills during summer, helping to ensure that they are ready to learn and not having to regain forgotten skills when returning to school in the fall.

Over 900 youth registered for summer reading in 2023.

The Library Foundation has taken on the mission to give well-suited, reading-level books to every kid and teen who registers for summer reading in 2024.

Your donation to Library Giving Day goes directly to covering the costs of providing books to kids this summer.
