What is Library Giving Day?


The Library Giving Day campaign is a concept dedicated to growing philanthropic support for libraries across the nation as part of Library Awareness Week. It was conceived by The Seattle Public Library Foundation and piloted in 2019. This first-ever Library Giving Day helped participating libraries raise a collective $737,000!

Since its inception, over 400 library organizations across the United States and Canada have participated in the annual event.

Recent 2022 Highlights:

"I just discovered the library of things and put a backpack on hold in preparation for an upcoming trip to the beach. I can’t believe you have discover passes! What an incredible way to make these accessible for all people. And as an occupational therapist I was floored to find you have adaptive equipment. What an amazing resource to which I can refer the newly-housed veterans with whom I work. THANK YOU!" - TRL Patron
