All Iowa Gives - Day of Giving - Thursday, Sept. 20

As we approach the anniversary of hurricane Maria making landfall in Puerto Rico, we’re encouraging a

day of giving

and calling it

ALL IOWA GIVES.

On Thursday, Sept. 20, we encourage all Iowa libraries and ILA members to participate by adding ALL IOWA GIVES images (attached) and captions (below) to their library websites, library social media, and personal social media accounts.

This is a 1-day push to encourage giving and continue to raise awareness of conditions in Puerto Rico. Please consider participating!

Many thanks,
Rebecca Funke & Cara Stone
