This week, we partnered with another great volunteer organization, the Friends of the Wilmington Public Library! By donating 1,000+ books to the group, we are helping support the services of the Wilmington Library in Delaware.

The Friends do so much for the library. A few examples include:

• Providing new equipment for the Library,
• Providing new books and audio-visual materials for public use,
• Contributing 1,800 hours annually of volunteer time for improved Library Services.
• Paying for Literacy Volunteers of America students and tutors to attend national conferences, and
• Supporting the Library’s “Focus on Quality” Capital/Endowment Campaigns.

How do they do all that? Through fundraising efforts including a semi-annual book sale. The books that Success Won’t Wait donated – from self-help, to crafts, to cooking – will help fund the ongoing maintenance and expansion of the Library and its programs.
