Library Legislative Day and 100 Extraordinary Women

Linda, Rob and I are heading to Madison Monday and Tuesday to talk to our legislators about libraries. Call us if you need us for anything!

Our  KPL Foundation's 100 Extraordinary Women campaign is heating up and we're almost ready to launch our website. Our campaign goal is $100,000. We're recruiting 12 table captains who will each recruit 7 more women. Each woman will donate $1,000 in honor of a woman that has made a big impact in their lives and that woman's name will be among all the other 99 honored women on a permanent plaque at the new children's library. Donations are one time or over a period of time for as little as $17 per month. Men can donate in honor of a woman. A campaign celebration luncheon will be held this summer with all women who donate invited. I have agreed to be a table captain, so if you'd like to sit at my table, please let me know! It would be wonderful to fill a table with library staff! Here's a sneak peek at the 100EW website. We'll tweak it a bit more and launch it next week.

In the coming weeks, we'll share our stories of the women we're honoring and why donating to the children's library is the perfect way to honor them.

Stay warm, everyone!
