The Pottstown Regional Public Library wants your help! The cost of running the library has increased drastically over the past 2 years, yet our funding from the state of Pennsylvania and our 4 local municipalities** has either remained the same or has been cut. Our staff is dedicated to our local community, therefore we want to make sure our doors are open for the next 100 years!
Here’s a list of all the ways we are fundraising for 2022 and beyond! Keep checking back as this page will be updated throughout the year.
**Changes by municipality
-Pottstown Borough: The borough is giving us the same 3%, but due to reduced tax income, the total amount given to the library can vary.
-Lower Pottsgrove: Giving has remained the same with no increase or decrease.
-Upper Pottsgrove: Cut funding from $32,000 in 2020 to $5,000 in 2021.
-West Pottsgrove: Cut from $20,000 in 2019 to $10,000 in 2021.
Thank you for considering helping!
More ways you can help!
-Monetary donations: Monthly, or ongoing donations are even better.
-Talk to your commissioner for your municipalities about how great the library is and ask them to consider increasing funding.
-Participate in our monthly fundraisers.
-Let us know of any corporations in our area that are looking to give back to their community!
