​Denton residents have a special opportunity to support their local libraries during Library Giving Day on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. This annual fundraising event encourages community members to contribute to the Friends of the Denton Public Libraries, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing library services and resources.​

Event Details:

Library Giving Day, initiated in 2019, is a one-day fundraising event aimed at encouraging patrons to support their local libraries. Libraries play a crucial role in communities by providing free access to books, technology, educational programs, and serving as hubs for job seekers, students, and lifelong learners. The funds raised during this event will directly benefit the Denton Public Libraries, ensuring the continuation and expansion of valuable programs such as the annual Summer Reading Challenge.

The Friends of the Denton Public Libraries is a nonprofit organization that raises funds to provide materials and equipment for the Denton Public Libraries. Their mission is to support the library system in its service to the community by improving and extending services. Donations made to the Friends go directly to supporting the library system and helping to ensure all community members have access to books, educational materials, and a wide variety of programming.

For more information on Library Giving Day and to explore other participating North Texas libraries, visit the North Texas Giving Day website.​

Supporting the Denton Public Libraries during Library Giving Day is a meaningful way to invest in the community’s educational and cultural resources. Every donation contributes to the enrichment and accessibility of library services for all residents.
