The Decatur Public Library Foundation is holding a Shoe Show
fundraiser in September presented by Cricket By The Creek. A ticket to this event provides a footwear
fashion show and luncheon. This is an
exciting event for our Foundation since it’s their first fundraiser, and we
wanted to take a moment to tell a little bit about what they do for us.
All of the proceeds from this event will go towards Decatur
Public Library's digital collection, part of which includes music. Very soon we will be launching Freegal® Music
service for Decatur Public Library card holders. This amazing service will allow our patrons
to download 3 songs per week and
stream 3 hours of music per day, from
a selection of over 9 MILLION songs. Once a song is downloaded, it will be yours
FOREVER. While this service will be free
to our patrons, the Library has to pay a yearly fee that is not insubstantial
and which we could not afford on our own.
It's thanks to the Foundation that we will be bringing
Freegal music service to our patrons in August, and with their successful
fundraising efforts they will continue to provide us with digital materials for
our patrons.
The Shoe Show is a fun event that will raise money for an excellent cause…YOUR library! For details about purchasing a ticket, please go to our website. We hope to see you there!
