💕 Every Little Bit Helps
Love Your Library Month is about more than fundraising. It’s about celebrating the people who make our library special — our patrons, volunteers, Friends, donors, staff, and entire community.
When you donate, attend an event, purchase a book, buy a baked good, or simply tell someone about the library, you are helping CLAV continue to grow and serve our community.
