Did you know we accept donations of books you no longer need? They must have been stored inside and we do not take encyclopedias.

However, we do not want them left outside. Therefore, we do not accept donations outside of business hours! Please and thank you for your cooperation.

Wow is right! We have all our summer reading charts tallied and these kiddos did amazing!

This summer was incredible. These older children read 375 hours and probably more since so many in this age group think they are too old for prizes. 🤣

The younger children read 4,920 books!

All together they earned 779 prizes and 166 pizzas!

On top of all the reading, our attendance at our programs was off the charts!

We would like to thank the community as well as Colwich Community Foundation, Lions Club of Colwich , City of Colwich, Colwich Elementary, Colwich Fire Department, The Gathering Space and The Confetti Closet for all their support through provided space, manual help and donations.

These donations help us make our activities fresh and exciting for our growing patron base as well as provide the services our patrons need. We sponsor and co-sponsor activities all year long. Public libraries are public to everyone with no boundaries. Our funding, however, is not. If you know of any families or businesses that would like to support our library, let them know. All donations are tax deductible and we are a 501C3.

Sponsor Spotlight: We are so grateful to Gambino's Original for providing mini pizzas to all of the children that complete their first reading chart over the summer! The smiles on their faces when they earn that pizza is priceless! This tradition has been in place for a long time and it has added up to a lot of slices!🍕

Sponsors like this allow us to provide materials and experiences to our community. If you or anyone you know would like to donate or help sponsor an activity, message us. All donations are tax deductible and we are a 501C3.

Sponsor Spotlight: We would like to send a huge thank you out to The Confetti Closet for their generous support! They heard about our Summer Reading Program and high number of children engaging this year and surprised us with prizes and a monetary donation.

Donations from families and businesses allow us to provide more to our community. If you know of anyone that would like to contribute, please have them contact us. All donations are tax deductible and we are a 501C3 organization.

We have drawn our winners! We placed the names of all the children that completed the Summer Reading Program in a jar and chose 5 names. These children will receive a gift card to The Gathering Space and the accompanying inflatable dinosaur or dinosaurs. If you see these children or their parents make sure they know to stop in the library and claim the prize!
