Join the Berryville Library in celebrating Library Giving Day on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. National Library Giving Day encourages patrons and library lovers across the country to make a gift supporting their local library. This year’s Library Giving Day has special meaning to the Friends of the Berryville Library Inc., as that is the date set to break ground on a new 10,000-square-foot library. Since no local tax revenues can be used for the construction of a new library, the Friends of the Berryville Library and the Berryville Library Board embarked on a campaign to raise the money needed for this new building on April 1, 2021, with a promise to break ground in 2025. The Friends are fulfilling this promise. Groundbreaking is set for 11 a.m. Tuesday April 1 at the new building site across from the City Pool Park. All are welcome to attend.
The Friends of the Library have raised enough money to cov-er construction costs but still need to raise additional funds for furnishing the building. A donation on April 1 would help commemorate this historic occasion as well as help furnish the new building. Donations to the Berryville Library Building Project can be dropped off or mailed to the library at 104 Spring St. or made online at berryvillelibrary. org/building.
Started in 2019, Library Giving Day is a one-day fundraising event with the goal of encouraging people who depend on and enjoy public libraries to donate to their individual library system. Public libraries strengthen communities and transform lives every day. In addition to providing access to books and other resources, libraries offer innovative programs that promote lifelong learning, connect patrons to technology, and advance knowledge.
The Berryville Library, open seven days a week, is no exception. Hosting more than 75,000 visitors a year and offering more than 500 programs targeted to all ages, the Berryville Library provides well over an estimated $1,000,000 worth of free services and materials to the citizens of Berryville and the surrounding area each year. And the library is just a family- friendly, fun place where everyone is welcome. There is something to do for everyone, ages 1 to 101!
Make a tax-deductible donation to the Berryville Library Building Project on April 1 to help celebrate Library Giving Day and the long-awaited groundbreaking ceremony.
If you want to become a Friend of the Berryville Library, call 870-423-2323. Individual membership starts at only $10 a year.
