People love to support causes!
Libraries lead the way in literacy and life-long learning.
Libraries meet the needs of their local communities in ever-expanding ways.
Here's an example of what we mean:
The Public Programs Office of the American Library Association launched a campaign last spring to create the Cultural Communities Fund, an endowment to support local libraries in establishing community and cultural programs. The first of its kind, the fund will help libraries of all types develop and host programs in the arts, humanities, and civic discussion in diverse communities across the country. ALA's immediate goal is to raise $300,000 by July 31, 2005 in order to receive $150,000 in matching funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The long-term goal is to raise a total of $5 million for the endowment by 2010 to support an ongoing annual schedule of training and programming. Make an online donation or print a mail-in pledge card.
The Libraries matter. campaign offers librarians the opportunity to post specific funding needs, such as the one above, on this website where multiple library causes are aggregated.
There are many folks who would like to help improve the literacy rate in America or who wish they could make a difference in the lives of senior citizens and students.
Hectic schedules may not allow everyone to volunteer directly, but they can achieve a level of personal satisfaction by donating to library programs that meet these very aims in their own community. People love to support causes!

As the American Library Association says repeatedly, "Libraries cannot live on love alone."
