Hi [NAME],
I’m taking part in something that feels both simple and meaningful—the Stay Home and Read a Book Ball benefiting the Los Angeles Public Library. I hope you’ll be my guest. The best part of this ball? You don’t have to go anywhere!
From now through April 12, it’s easy to support: spend some time reading and make a donation to support the next 100 years of the Library. That’s it!
I’ve created my own fundraising page, and I’d love for you to join me. Whether that means donating, picking up a book, or even starting your own page and inviting others in, I encourage you to help empower our city’s most beloved institution.
Here’s how to participate:
WHEN
Now through Sunday, April 12, 2025
WHERE
Wherever you find yourself reading a good book
HOW
Crack open a book, get lost in the pages, then make a gift on my fundraising page [INSERT LINK] or create your own. You can also share what you’re reading with @LibraryFoundLA using #LFLABookBall
Thank you for helping power the next 100 years of the Central Library!
Stay home and stay connected!
Follow us at @libraryfoundla and tag #LFLABookBall to share how you’re participating and see what others are reading!
