June 30, 2010 Update: Thanks to hundreds of supporters, we met our goal. But it is not too late to support the Oakland Public Library: please become a member of FOPL today!
Looking for ways to make your dollars go farther in this tough economy?
Then donate to the East Oakland Community Library/81st Avenue book fund, and for each $1 you give, our funders will add $5.
Here’s how: Your contribution will count toward two valuable challenge grants, (a $1 million grant from an anonymous foundation and a recent grant from the Kresge Foundation in the amount of $325,000).
Donate today, and once we raise funds to the challenge amount of $295,000, our funders will give $5 for each $1 you give. That makes your contribution five times stronger to help stock the bookshelves with a first-rate collection.
For more information, please call Winifred Walters, Manager of Grants and Development at the Oakland Public Library at (510) 238-6932 or contact her by email: wwalters@oaklandlibrary.org
Please take a moment to donate today!
