Description

Manitowoc Public Library is running our "Best Gift Ever" campaign to collect new children's books for local families in need. From November 2 through December 4, you can donate new, unwrapped books by placing them in the donation box near the first floor service desk. All book donations will be given to three local nonprofits for distribution over the holiday season:

Incourage
Lakeshore Foster Family and Friends
Salvation Army of Manitowoc County

All types of books are welcome - picture books, board books, chapter books, young adult books, anything you feel a child or teenager would enjoy reading! You can also make a monetary donation that will go towards purchasing new children's books to be donated. For checks, please make it to "Manitowoc Public Library," with "Best Gift Ever" in the notes line. Please have monetary donations submitted by November 23, so we can have the books ready for delivery in December. Owning something as simple as a book can have a tremendous impact on a child’s self-esteem and help boost their spirits. We ask that you work with us to provide new children’s books for these needy kids. The benefits will last a lifetime.
