Dear Library Supporter,

Thank you for standing with us as we work together to advance our Library's mission.

 

As a donor, you are a vital and valued member of the Library family and your generosity has a profound impact on the communities we serve. Because of your support, Kitsap Regional Library can expand services and programming year after year and engage our community in new and exciting ways.

Last year, 779 donors gave more than $457,000 to support our library programs and projects. And across nine locations, Kitsap residents visited their local libraries more than 636,000 times. Over 44,000 community members attended library programs, cardholders borrowed more than 2.4 million items, our mobile services team made more than 2,650 home visits and the amazing library staff hosted more than 1,700 live and virtual programs.

These numbers demonstrate just how important our Library is and how your support is helping our Library continue to evolve and serve in different ways. Thank you!

Your gift is an investment in the people in our community, helping each of us to dream more, learn more, do more and be more.

With gratitude,

Wendy Kile Executive Director
