Julie Farley, EPL donor, pledged $15,000 to the Evanston Public Library and challenged Evanston to join her commitment...and in five days, we have received nearly $6,500!!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed! We're almost halfway to this goal!

There's still time to join us! Gifts for this match will be counted through Friday, August 18, so make your donation today.  Any gift made on our website, in person at the Library, or mailed and postmarked by August 18 will be included.

Four reasons why Julie made this challenge (in her own words):

  1. Together we are the Library!
  2. EPL is underfunded compared to our      neighbors.
  3. EPL's staff and volunteers are the best!
  4. EPL is celebrating 150 years of service.

Many special thanks to Julie Farley for her strong support of EPL.

 

Thank You!

Together we are the Library!

For 150 years, the Library has provided educational, culturally-rich resources for all residents, helped children prepare for school through the joys of reading and learning, celebrated Evanston’s diversity, and helped residents find information they seek. The Library is more than a building of books; it is a place to meet, connect, learn, and explore. To learn more, visit www.epl.org.
