Dear Community Member and Mary Meuser Memorial Library Supporter, Public libraries build community. Small towns like Wilson and small libraries have struggled i...n recent years and the current economic climate creates more hardship for small businesses. The Mary Meuser Memorial Library invites you to participate in our Virtual Library Fundraiser a replacement for our annual book fair that has served as a cornerstone social event for decades. This opportunity strives to build harmony between local business, area residents and, of course, the library. Attached to this letter you will find a list outlining ways for you to help. We also wish to generate a discussion of favorite books and authors, and, hopefully, raise money for the library while promoting local businesses. So, get ready to promote your business, tell us more about why you love Mary Meuser Library, and share as much or as little as you have to give. This is your library, and it’s here to serve you. Sincerely, Mary Meuser Library Fundraising Committee PS MMML Trustees voted to join Hoopla, a streaming and ebook service for libraries. This means your library card can allow access to books, movies, and music without ever leaving home or paying a dime. This is just one example of how libraries adapt to public needs and desires. Your generosity now could offset the cost of this new acquisition. Virtual Library Fundraiser Mary Meuser Memorial Library Below you will find opportunities to support our beloved community library.
