Dear O'Keeffe Families,
The results for the Read-A-Thon fundraiser this year is astounding! We surpassed our goals by over $10,000 and broke our record for the previous years. We are so thankful to you, your families, and your friends who supported the library with your donations. After service fees, our library will receive $24,254!
In addition, our BIBLIOMANIACS read 175,198 minutes over a 9 day period! That works out as 2920 hours or 121.6 days of reading.
Words cannot express how grateful we are for your support of the library and your encouragement for all of the reading that happened in (and around) your homes.
Corporate sponsors, we thank you!
If you have a business and would like to donate, let us know, we are looking for corporate sponsorships!
