973 books were adopted during the 2022 campaign
Western Counties Regional Library staff show their appreciation of the community support for the 2022 Adopt-A-Book campaign. CONTRIBUTEDYARMOUTH, NS – People showed their love of Western Counties Regional Library by adopting 973 books during the 2022 Adopt-A-Book campaign.
“The support people give this campaign is heartening,” says library Executive Director Erin Comeau. “It shows their love of reading and the library.”The fundraiser allows people to adopt books to put on their public library’s shelves. All 10 branches had books on display that were available to adopt and borrow right away.
“Our funding is frozen for the next three years. With rising inflation and related costs of operation, we have to cut back on the number of new books and other library material we buy,” Comeau said at the start of the campaign. “People knew about the campaign and its importance because our sponsor Radio CJLS was airing campaign advertisements and doing live updates throughout the two-month period,” says White. “Financial institutions, community organizations, schools and library Friends groups provided some very large donations in the hundreds and thousands of dollars.”
