The Friends & Foundation of Howard County Library System is hosting a fundraiser raffle at all six branches from January 17 to February 21, 2024. This raffle is held in conjunction with the Evening in the Stacks gala. This year the party theme is Evening in the Stacks Floral Gala!  
 
Customers can purchase raffle entries at branches and online, to win fabulous baskets of goods donated by businesses like yours, tickets to the event, and a grand prize. 
 
 We ask you to donate a product, service, or experience to include in the community baskets. They will recognize your support of their beloved Library and give back through their business. 
 
Your gift is a tax-deductible contribution to Friends & Foundation of Howard County Library System. A contribution demonstrates your support of HCLS’ education mission and special events that entertain and delight our community like Battle of the Books, notable author events, and the HCLS Spelling Bee. 
 
We ask that you return the receipt of your donation by January 11, 2022, in order to be recognized in all promotional material. Thank you for your consideration of this request. It is donors such as you that make this fundraiser a great success and enables Friends & Foundation to support meaningful educational opportunities that HCLS would not otherwise be able to offer.
