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!

C3BRIX MOTTO | REBUILD YOUR CHILDHOOD

The motto of C3Brix is “Rebuild Your Childhood” encouraging adults to reminisce and children to use their imagination to think outside of the (Lego) box by building anything they can imagine and not be limited by the instruction books.

“I have never forgotten where I started and I want to make sure kids today continue to use Legos outside of just the instructions in kits. I want to make sure the next generation is encouraged to do the same.”
