Love Your Library This Weekend

Goodwin library supports The Connecticut Library Association, Connecticut Library Consortium, and the Connecticut State Library in partnership with Barnes & Noble Booksellers to Love Your Library this holiday season in a special fundraiser that will support a statewide online information service called InfoAnytime.

With InfoAnytime, the Goodwin community can access the help of a librarian online 24x7. As with most innovative new services, funding is a key to ensuring its success. That's why this year's Love Your Library proceeds will go to InfoAnytime, for libraries and their patrons throughout the state to enjoy.

What can you do to help? Shop at a participating Barnes & Noble with your Love Your Library voucher (available at Goodwin LIbrary or online) on Love Your Library days. Get your voucher now - print it out & use it at a Barnes & Noble Friday, December 1st through Sunday, December 3rd.

Last year's pilot event raised over $7,000, which helped to underwrite the Historical Hartford Courant database now freely available this year to all Connecticut libraries and their patrons via iCONN, the CT Digital Library.

This year's proceeds will go toward InfoAnytime - the statewide virtual reference project coordinated by CLC.
Thank you for your support! -The Love Your Library Team
