Instead of receiving gifts for your birthday this year, why not make a lasting impact on your community? With a Bookish Birthday Fundraiser for Johnson County Library, you can invite friends and family to donate to Johnson County Library Foundation in honor of your special day. It’s a thoughtful way to celebrate while supporting literacy, learning, and innovation at your local library.
Why Choose a Gift of Literacy?
- Your birthday becomes a catalyst for community enrichment.
- Every donation helps fund library programs, resources, and lifelong learning.
- It’s meaningful, memorable, and clutter-free!
How It Works
- About two weeks before your birthday, encourage friends and family to give in support of local public library services in place of buying you a gift.
- Simply share the link (https://www.jocolibraryfoundation.org/birthday-fundraiser) via email or social media with friends and family, OR
- Create your very own fundraising page by selecting the “Create my own fundraising page!” button to set a goal and track progress. You will receive a unique link to share once you create your page.
- You celebrate, your friends give, and together we make a difference.
Libraries open doors to opportunity, imagination, and transformation. By requesting donations in lieu of birthday presents, you’re helping ensure everyone in our community has access to the tools they need to thrive.
