Program Description

Event Details

Pay it forward at your library and restore library use to little readers with library fees! Come to our Downtown or Southwest library service desk and choose a tag off our Wishing Tree display for your donation. Your gift will pay down a participating young reader's account fees (fines, lost & damaged items) and give them a fresh start. Donate to our 2022 Wishing Tree today!

All children participating in this program will receive a special letter in the mail, announcing the good news of their restored library account and anonymously thanking the generous donator who helped give them the chance to read again.
