This sounds like a Board Member challenge, doesn't it? Who else will go Over The Edge to raise funds for the Library Foundation and the San Antonio Public Library?

We are not your average non-profit and Over The Edge is NOT your average fundraiser! If you don't want to rappel down the side of a building, you can still support the Library Foundation with a sponsorship or donation, or support the rappeler of your choice! Bit.ly/SAPLFOTE24

Happy National Library Workers' Day! You all do so much for so many - you are greatly appreciated!

We LOVE that our SAPLF Literacy Caravan visits means so much to the children we see! Little Athena worked hard to complete all her Dragon Quest challenges, including getting her San Antonio Public Library card, bringing a friend to the library, reading five books, and participating in a library activity. We appreciate her perseverance and her teacher Audra Rodriguez' encouragement to turn in her completed Passport. At the end of this epic quest, Athena was rewarded with a prize from the treasure chest and when faced with the choice of a second prize or an extra book, Athena chose the book! (Whoohoo! )

Thanks to all our supporters and donors who help make a difference in the lives of San Antonio's children!
