Bucks County Free Library launches fundraiser for new library books

Every $20 donated through Bucks for Books adds another new book to the public collection

Bucks County Free Library’s third annual Bucks for Books fundraiser is officially underway.

The library’s goal is to raise $10,000 for new physical books, e-books and audiobooks. Every $20 donated adds another new book to the collection shared by all public libraries in the county.

In 2021, Bucks County Free Library users checked out more than 2 million books, according to Holly Ambrose, Bucks County Free Library’s collection management director.

“Since the beginning of the pandemic, library cardholders have borrowed library e-books more than ever,” said Ambrose. “The support we receive during Bucks for Books will help us purchase additional copies to keep wait times down while maintaining a strong collection of physical books in all our branches.”
