Miriam Meza –
We give a special thanks to all our customers for the continued support of the Aurora Public Library and Foundation. From the attendance at our events, to the relationships built with us, and the collections that are used, we care about it all.
Thanks to our customers we have promoted our Library, donated and brought awareness to the needs in our community. We have been able to make an impact and transform individual’s lives. Individuals just like Jan C., a homebound resident of Aurora, has had a great impact from our services. Jan C. said, “If there were no homebound services, I would be devasted. I have difficulty getting around and in and out of buildings. Spending time in choosing books would be more than I could handle, so this service is a blessing to me. I don’t know how I would survive if this service were not available. It gives me something to look forward to each month.”
By supporting the Aurora Public Library and Aurora Library Foundation individually can provide opportunities for a brighter future for members of the Aurora community. Contributions can have an impact on early literacy, provide parent/teacher resources and programs, support people with disabilities, make current technologies available, support homebound residents and provide opportunities for personal and professional development such as citizenship and GED classes.
We ask that you join us in offering better opportunities and futures for those in our community. The Aurora Public Library and Foundation We Care Together Party and Auction December 1 will be from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Richard and Gina Santori Library.
