| Invest in Our Future on GivingTuesday |
|
|
|
|
On November 28, we invite you to consider Moline Library Gardens in your GivingTuesday plans.
Your tax deductible contribution will support the creation of an outdoor oasis that extends and enhances library facilities and services. A gift to this project, no matter the size, will further our mission to inspire lifelong learning, create community and transform lives with quality goods and services while taking us one step closer to creating an enriching space for all to enjoy.
GivingTuesday, held on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, was established in 2012 as a global endeavor to inspire generosity, collaboration, and community. Learn more about GivingTuesday here.
