Everett Public Library

INVEST IN ADVENTURE FOR ALL -

SUPPORT OUR SUMMER READING PROGRAMS! 

Our Mission

The Everett Public Library connects the community and all its members to resources and services that inform, educate, and entertain. We provide open access to lifelong learning. We embrace the future while preserving the past.

Why Give?

Summer Reading is so much more than just a brochure - there are opportunities to deepen your experience with a variety of programs at both branches, fun prizes, and of course the priceless experience of engaging with your wider community. 

A gift of $25 allows us to purchase materials and prizes for two participants!  The population of Snohomish County is growing rapidly. Connecting as many Everett-area residents possible to the full Summer Reading Program experience grows more expensive by the month. Together with your support, we can include more participants than ever this summer!

When you make a gift to Everett Public Library, you are providing crucial support for a wide range of Library programs and services that receive little or no public funding.  Public funding pays only a portion of the Library's operating expenses. We depend on donations from individuals like you to support programs like Summer Reading.

Why Summer Reading? 

Summer Reading at Everett Public Library offers opportunities for both youth and adults to broaden their library experiences. Youth in school often experience a "summer slide" between grade levels that can take precious learning time during the school year to recover from. Summer Reading programming helps prevent and mitigate summer slide in youth. For adults, Summer Reading offers opportunities to reconnect to reading for fun and leisure - a hobby that is often a victim of time and required reading. For more information on our 2024 Summer Reading Programs, please visit www.epls.org/summer. 

Your gift allows us to continue providing free services to all.
