Aug 1, 2024 | Newsletter

As we celebrate the summer season, we want to thank you for your ongoing support. Your generosity is crucial to our success and enables us to make a positive impact on the communities we serve. In this edition, we are excited to highlight how your contributions have made a difference at the Moore Public Library and share information about upcoming Foundation events and library programs. Thank you for being a driving force behind our mission to support literacy and a love of learning throughout Pioneer Library System communities and for believing in the power of giving back. 

 

IMPACT: Curating Inclusive Customer Experiences

Your gifts have created inclusive spaces for children and adults with sensory needs at the Moore Public Library. With the Foundation’s support, library staff created two calming corner stations for children and established sensory kits for children and adults. These resources aid in decompression and avoid overstimulation due to various sensory needs, allowing visitors to enjoy the library experience fully. We are proud to contribute to the Pioneer Library System’s commitment to fostering inclusive customer experiences. Such enhancements are only achievable through your generosity, and we express our gratitude for your impactful support! Learn more about the impact of your gifts.
