Library Giving Day, the national day of giving for public libraries, returns April 14, 2027, and you don't need a development office or a big donor list to make it count. In this practical session, two Texas libraries share how they did it. Dripping Springs Community Library combined a direct-mail postcard, email, and social media with a "shop local" partnership that brought area businesses into the day. Pottsboro Area Public Library, a small rural library in North Texas, used local press and community partnerships to rally its town.

You'll leave with a week-by-week plan to get from February to April, sample messages, and ideas for enlisting local partners. You'll also see the free tools and support available through Library Support Network. Whether you're a director, a Friends or Foundation member, or the person who "also does fundraising," there's still time to plan a campaign this spring.

Presented by:

• Dianne Connery, Development Director, Pottsboro Area Public Library
• Sarah Rose, Project Coordinator, Library Support Network
