#GivingTuesday: Global Day of Unity & Giving
On November 30, 2021, people worldwide are coming together to support, celebrate, and strengthen their communities. Will you be one of them?
The Plainsboro Public Library will be participating in #GivingTuesday, and we need your help!
As the new year swiftly approaches, the Plainsboro Public Library is looking to the future as we hope to complete our Youth Engagement Services (YES) project to better support children from birth through high school at the library.
The YES project will see the Youth Services floor transformed into a space that facilitates experiences and supports critical library services—from its renovation to the Department’s projected programming and future collections. This project re-imagines the Youth Services Department to meet the needs of all ages, 0-18. It features robust digital infrastructure, adaptable spaces, appropriately sized furniture, and engaging tactile experiences for toddlers. Patron experience, inclusivity, digital resources, and environmental responsibility are all strategic themes that have influenced the guiding principles informing the proposed integral design.
Join us at the Plainsboro Public Library in the weeks leading up to #GivingTuesday to learn more about the YES project, pick up a butterfly origami kit, and enter to win fun prizes!
