Tuesday, December 2 is #GivingTuesday!
Prepare today to join the worldwide movement and support your local St. Mary’s County Library on #GivingTuesday. People from around the world will come together to give back and support the causes and organizations they love, and we hope you’ll join us.
You can show your support by making a donation benefiting your St. Mary’s County Library. Your donated dollars will be put to work immediately, ensuring our community has access to the best possible library programs, collections, and services – all thanks to generous donors like you. This year, we’re raising money to help increase our digital collections! We hope to raise $25,000 to purchase more copies of popular titles and expand our collections of eBooks and digital audiobooks in Palace and Libby.
2025 is St. Mary’s County Library’s 75th Anniversary! If only 333 people donate $75 for our 75th year, we will meet our goal!
