Palatine Library Foundation Giving Tuesday Fundraiser

Palatine Library Foundation asks for your support of the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program at Palatine Library. On Giving Tuesday, November 27, $10 donations will support starter kits for kids and parents who participate. This free program encourages the love of reading together and emphasizes that simply reading to a child is one of the most important ways to prepare him/her for school. The Foundation's goal is to raise $1000 on Giving Tuesday. To donate, visit https://ppldf.org/makeadonation.html

Thirty-four children have completed the program since it started in September 2017. The starter kit provides information about the program and includes a great way to record reading progress, with fun stickers and prizes along the way. Once the child has reached the 1000 book goal, he/she receives a book and an invitation to a graduation ceremony. The supportive parent/caregiver also receives a special gift. This program is open to Library District cardholders ages birth to Kindergarten.

The foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that raises funds for Palatine Library in order to enhance services, materials, and activities. For more information, visit https://ppldf.org
