Our Little Library Needs Your Help

BUILT ON THE ROCK--A COMMUNITY LITTLE LIBRARY AND RESOURCE CENTER

Hello potential donor,

My name is Elizabeth and along with my husband, Dan, we built and oversee a high traffic community little library from our front yard. We have had this library for 2 years and have thoroughly enjoyed serving our community in this way. We have been blessed to get to know the patrons of our library in many cases and we love them and we know that the books have been a blessing to them and to everyone.

We are also blessed to be located on a main thoroughfare to a local elementary school so many of our patrons are children and they have come to look forward to checking what's in the library for them to choose from. Getting to know the kids and their stories has been a blessing to us and we are grateful to be offering this resource to them.

We have created this GoFundMe to help with our efforts to keep the library stocked with books and supplies. While we welcome book donations from anyone, we personally only place faith based, mental health related and good values related books into the library. This has become a needed source of this kind of content in our community and there are so many who appreciate the focus we place on these things. We even had a child come to our door once and ask us for a Bible for herself. We bought her a very special pink princess ESV Bible for her personal use.

That young girl is why we do what we do. We want to change lives and offer hope.

Your donation would go towards helping us keep the library stocked. Book prices have skyrocketed and while we typically try to buy used books, on occasion we need to buy new ones because something we want to supply isn't available as a used book. A perfect example is that we like to offer journals for teens to help them manage their emotions and in that case, used journals aren't feasible and the cost of items like this are sometimes significant at $8 - $15 a piece and supplying things like that will be an ongoing endeavor. So your donation helps us supply items like that.

We appreciate you considering donating to our little library fund and we will put your donation to good use for our community we love so much.

God bless you.

With love,

Elizabeth and Dan

P.S. We are also dreaming of building a much bigger physical library space so that we can expand our offerings to our community. Your donation towards that dream would be helping make our dreams come true. This would require a bigger donation amount to make this possible so we add this at the end in case your a donor looking to make dreams come true.
