FULTON COUNTY, Ga. â Library Giving Day started as an idea generated by the Seattle Public Library Foundation and its fundraising partner Carl Bloom Associates.
The goal of the event is to encourage people who âdepend on and enjoy public libraries to donate to their individual library system.â
Interim Executive Director of Atlanta-Fulton Public Library Foundation Peter Pearson said the campaign involved a collection of library foundations that came together to discuss successful fundraising strategies.
With that, Library Giving Day was born.
This yearâs event will take place on April 7. Pearson said fundraising events like Library Giving Day became essential after the 2008 recession and libraries received less government funding.

Celebrate World Poetry Day with seven Black, Indigenous, Womxn of Color reading original poetry that explores the intersectionality of womxn’s health, healing, and the endangered Orca whales of the Salish Sea. Seattle Civic Poet Jourdan Imani Keith says, “As Black Indigenous Womxn of Color in Seattle, we share the urban wilderness of the Salish Sea with the endangered Killer Whales. Our bodies face the same cumulative risks of environmental toxins and the harms of objectification, yet we both survive and are revived by the cumulative benefits of matrilineal wisdom, tradition and community. Our brilliance and wellness is entwined with the need for healthy and protected social and natural ecosystems.”
