NEPA Gives June 6-7, 2024
NEPA Gives is an annual 24-hour online giving extravaganza held on the first weekend in June. It started five years ago as an initiative of the Scranton Area Community Foundation to enhance the quality of life for all people in Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA) through the development of organized philanthropy. Verified 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofits that serve the community in NEPA can participate and raise funds for their cause. Please consider supporting Hamlin Community Library as we participate in this day of giving.
Funding Needed
Hamlin Community Library receives approximately half of its funding from government sources. The remainder of our income comes from processing U.S. Passport applications, hosting fundraising events, providing library services (copying, faxing, laminating, etc.), and generous donations from community members like you.
Gifts of any size will help us reach our goals. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, and your donation may be tax-deductible.
Your gifts totaling $250+ will include an acknowledgment plaque with your name on it placed on the library walls with the fruits of your donation.
No goods or services were received in return for this gift. Our federal tax ID is available upon receipt of your donation.
Physical Materials Donation Guidelines
We will post specific dates when we accept physical materials donations. Please check our Events page for dates.
If you wouldn't give the item as a gift, or buy it for yourself, we can't use it.
If items have mold, mildew, cobwebs, water damage, or animal droppings, please do NOT try to donate them. Many items donated to the library end up in the trash. If an item is damaged or otherwise in poor condition, please dispose of it properly.
Do not leave book donations outside of the Library including in the book drop. Items left outside are considered litter.
We cannot use Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, or school books.
