Annual Fund Drive for the Cortland Free Library

If OUR library has positively impacted YOUR story, say so with a donation to our first-ever annual fund-drive!

A fundraising campaign for Cortland Free Library

If OUR library has positively impacted YOUR story -- and if you believe as I do that this cherished community institution should remain strong so we can impact the lives and, yes, the stories of others for years to come -- won't you make a donation to this, our first-ever, annual fund-drive?

All funds raised will be applied -- under advisement by our dedicated library staff and with guidance from our volunteer Board of Trustees -- to library operations!

Once you've made a donation, be sure to let others in your Facebook and Twitter networks know you've made a gift! Every share helps spread the word and, hopefully, inspire your social media friends to give too!



In the weeks, months, and years ahead -- the Cortland Free Library will be accumulating the stories of our supporters to share on our website and, potentially future fundraising efforts. If YOU would like your story to be among them, send it to us in writing (MS Word file with a photo if you have one) OR even consider sending us a short selfie-style video. We'll give them a look and consider posting them! Send your story to: [email protected]! (File size exceed Gmail's 25 MB limit? Contact us and we'll collaborate on a way to receive your file.)


On behalf of the Cortland Free Library -- THANK YOU!
