FRIENDS MEMBERSHIP REOPENS!

After a hiatus in 2021, the Friends of the East Gwillimbury Library are welcoming members again for the 2022 calendar year in support of the East Gwillimbury Public Library.

The Friends of the Library is registered charitable organization that organizes events and raises money for much-needed enhancements of library programming and materials.  Membership revenue allows the Friends of the Library to provide additional support for our growing library system and to attract the high caliber of authors for which we are known. You do not have to be a resident of East Gwillimbury to be a member.

It only costs $15 to join – $10 for a senior.

• In the past 12 months we have raised more than $2,700 through four virtual author events.
• In June 2022 we hope to bring the fundraising Shabby Chic Sale back after being cancelled for two years due to COVID.

To become a member and make a donation you must use both the membership link and the donation link and make separate transactions.   Charitable tax receipts will be issued for any total over $20 so you can combine your membership fee with a donation and get a receipt for the full amount.

Donations received by December 31 will qualify for a tax receipt for 2021.

Friends of the East Gwillimbury Library

The Friends of the East Gwillimbury Library is an independent, benevolent, not-for-profit, membership-based organization that operates under the direction of an elected Board. The Friends of the East Gwillimbury Library was formed in 2002 to be a voice in the community promoting the importance of literacy through our Library. Initial funding for The Friends of the East Gwillimbury Library was provided by the Cinemania Film Circuit who continue to provide annual funding to support out-of-budget library programs and initiatives. In 2004, the Friends of the Library launched an Author Reading Series that brings world-class authors to East Gwillimbury three times a year. Friends of the Library raises additional funds for the library through partnerships, raffles and special events.
