What's happening at YOUR library!

December 2022

Upcoming Closures

The library will be closed all day Saturday, December 24th, through Monday, December 26th, in observance Christmas Eve and Christmas, and on Monday, January 2nd, in observance of New Year's Day.

GivingTuesday Goal Achieved

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to the Aloha Community Library Association earlier this week for all your support this GivingTuesday! Not only did you step up to get us to our $5,000 goal, but you even nudged us past it all the way to $5,831.60. We are so grateful for the support of our community!

That means that we have only $34,168.40 left out of $40,000 that we need to raise by the end of 2022. If you didn't donate on Tuesday, we hope you'll consider making a gift to the Aloha Community Library Association sometime in the next month!

If making a financial donation to the library isn't in your budget (or just isn't your style), we also have a few other ways you can help ensure ongoing library services in our neighborhood...
