As we gear up for the Friends of the Ocala Public Library Read-A-Thon 2024, we are filled with an urgent sense of purpose and optimism. Our group of volunteers is dedicated to promoting the love of reading and supporting vital library programs for patrons of all ages. From running the Book Market to advocating for public library funding on local, state, and national levels, we are committed to making a difference in our community. The Ocala Public Library provides invaluable services to people of all ages, offering access to books, educational programs, computers, internet, and so much more. By participating in the Friends of the Ocala Library Read A Thon 2024, you can join us in our mission to ensure that these essential services continue to thrive.

I'm calling on supporters to help us reach my fundraising goal of $1,500 USD for this event taking place on August 3rd 2024. Your contribution will make a meaningful impact on the lives of countless individuals who benefit from the resources and opportunities provided by the Ocala Public Library, and the Ft. McCoy, Reddick, and Sankofa branches. Together, let's make a difference and ensure that the love of reading continues to flourish in our community.
