Library Giving Day-Double Your Impact!
2026-03-30 07:00 - 2026-04-04 00:00 | KS
It is that time of year again — and this year, your support can go twice as far.

We are partnering with the Northeast Kansas Library System for Library Giving Day on April 1st, and gifts made between March 30th and April 3rd will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,000. That means a $100 gift to bring Dino Dimensions to summer reading becomes $200 for kids in our community — just by timing your donation to that window. Gifts can be made at foundation.nekls.org/lgd, and NEKLS passes every dollar through to us with no administrative fee.

We have lots planned this year — programs for all ages and family programs each week. We know you are asked by many organizations to give, and we are grateful for any amount, whether it sponsors a whole program or contributes toward one.

Some details about the giving week:

Library Giving Day: Tuesday, April 1, 2026

Match window: Monday, March 30 (7 AM) – Friday, April 3 (midnight)

Match: Dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,000 per library

Giving link: foundation.nekls.org/lgd

Checks also qualify if received during the match window and are made out to NEKL Foundation (no “S”).

Thank you in advance for your consideration and continued support of our community library!

Summer Reading Kick-off with Dinosaur Dimensions

We’re kicking off our Unearth a Story Summer Reading Program with Dinosaur Dimensions, an interactive, realistic puppet show following by a meet and greet with the puppets!
From their website: “These shows contain plenty of audience involvement, a collection of four animatronic puppets, and a fun storyline the children can get into.
Following each show, we do a one-on-one meet & greet opportunity for interactions and photos!”

Atlas Education Presentaion

It wouldn’t be summer reading without a visit from Atlas Education! We love having them visit with their animal friends
and learning all about lizards, snakes, and turtles while seeing them in person and touching them (if you choose!).
Children must be accompanied by an adult and there are two short waivers to sign before the program starts. All ages.
