🍂 We have surpassed our initial fundraising goals thanks to your generosity & support!
We have raised $22,779!
We have been fundraising since August 9th with the goal of being able to keep Reading at the Rock Library open for another two years.
THANK YOU to those who participated!
Last week, we decided that if we could raise $2,700 more, we would have reached this goal. One week later, we've already raised another $1575! You all are amazing - we are almost done already! So now what?
Here's the deal: Once we raise $1,125 more, we can END THE FUNDRAISER EARLY!
About 114 of you have donated - if you want to join in the fun, we suggest you donate this week.
Notices:
🪷 We are looking for a Yoga teacher substitute for Tuesday mornings. If you'd like to volunteer, please contact us.
📐 Math tutoring will not be available in October, but we have plenty of Thursday slots in September. Sign up & get a head start!

Help Your Library Thrive – Volunteer With Us!
Share Something at Reading at the Rock!
Our volunteer-run library is always looking for community members who share an interest or want to help bring people together.
No special credentials needed, just enthusiasm and reliability.
You might help by:
Hosting a book club
Running a teen D&D game
Helping seniors with technology
Starting a crafting group
Helping students with English or language arts
Hosting a parent or homeschooler meet-up
Giving a talk about something you love
Helping spread the word about the library
You can start something new, help run an existing group, or just fill in occasionally. Even helping once or twice makes a real difference.
Interested? When you reach out, please let us know which age group(s) you’d most enjoy working with (kids, teens, adults, or seniors).
Reading at the Rock is powered by neighbors like you.
Other Volunteer Suggestions:
Library Volunteer: Volunteer at the library during various shifts. Must be willing to undergo a background check. No experience necessary.
Summer Reading Helpers: We need a few adults to take on small tasks in order to get this program moving forward. Also, if you have teens who need community service, why not help at our local library?
Attend meetings: We are considering starting a regular carpool signup. Please help amplify our speakers’ voices by attending City Council, County Commission, and PPLD Board of Trustees meetings.
