You did it!!
Thanks to our amazing Summer Library Game players, we helped deliver over 3,500 pounds of dog food to the Chesterfield Animal Services

We teamed up with Gleaning For The World and Rachael Loving to deliver all that kibble—enough for roughly 6,000 meals for the sheltered animals! 🐾

By completing Level 1 of the Summer Library Game, over 3,000 of you helped us reach our goal and unlock this donation, valued at $7,000. 🐶

Thanks to everyone who logged their reading and activities this summer to make this possible. ❤️ 🤍 💙

The county has recognized 13 Friends of the Chesterfield County Public Library volunteers with engraved bricks on its Volunteer Walk of Fame.
Chesterfield honors its volunteers who have served the county for at least 25 years in the walk of fame, which is near the Community Development Building.
Our volunteers are essential to our ability to deliver world class library services across the county. They are our ambassadors, sharing the value and importance of public library within Chesterfield.
