Giving Tuesday at the Chocorua Public Library: A Day to Support Community, Connection, and Our Historic Space
Giving Tuesday is a powerful reminder that small acts of generosity can create lasting impact—and at the Chocorua Public Library, this spirit of giving helps sustain a place that has served as the heart of our community since 1888. As a privately funded public library, we rely on the kindness, dedication, and support of our neighbors, patrons, and friends to keep our doors open, our programs thriving, and our building welcoming to all who enter.
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in celebrating the incredible community that surrounds our library by contributing to two important areas of support: general donations and contributions to The Whittemore Fund.
🌟 General Donations: Keeping Our Community Living Room Thriving
General donations help sustain the everyday magic of the Chocorua Public Library. These gifts support our book and media collections, programs for all ages, technology access, museum and attraction passes, and our cherished role as a safe, welcoming space for learning, gathering, and connection.
From Story Hours and summer reading challenges to cozy mystery nooks and community events, your generosity keeps every part of our library vibrant and accessible. General donations—whether large or small—truly make a difference in the life of our patrons and the future of our rural community.
🏛️ The Whittemore Fund: Preserving Our Building’s Historic Charm
Each year, The Whittemore Fund focuses on one major project that preserves and enhances our beloved library building. This year’s Giving Tuesday priority is replacing the original carpeting in our historic structure with beautiful, durable new flooring.
After decades of foot traffic, children’s programs, community gatherings, and countless stories shared, the original carpet has reached the end of its life. New flooring will brighten the space, improve accessibility, and help us continue welcoming generations of readers into a clean, safe, and inviting environment.
❤️ How You Can Make a Difference
Every gift—no matter the size—helps ensure that the Chocorua Public Library continues to be a treasured resource for our community. Whether you choose to make a general donation or support The Whittemore Fund’s special flooring project, your contribution strengthens the library’s future and preserves its legacy.
This Giving Tuesday, we thank you for believing in the power of stories, community, and shared spaces. Together, we can continue to build a bright and welcoming future for the Chocorua Public Library.
