Giving Tuesday
Reading Public Library creatively serves our city’s diverse, dynamic population and far beyond. But public funds support only a portion of our annual costs. Your support is needed to allow us to continue to inspire imagination, develop leaders, and create hope for the future, inside and outside our walls. This year, our programs and services have seen remarkable success. We are particularly proud of:
- Hands-on Family nights led by our famous Science Explorers programming
- Telehealth for seniors through a dedicated Digital Literacy Instructor, providing access to life-changing healthcare for those who need it most
- Our popular Summer @RPL program which assists youth with summer learning loss and served over 3,500 children who attended over 270 programs
- Our Senior Outreach which improves the lives of city seniors by bringing their favorite books, movies, and music to our city senior retirement communities
- Teen Programming focusing on reading, technology, and leadership skills which engages youth in a safe and comfortable environment.
Reading Public Library is a welcoming space, a safe haven for learning, and an economic driver. It is a community center with free access to all. Your generous gift this Giving Tuesday is needed to fund the work of this essential institution.
