Today we have some very special books going into the stacks: the first batch of a three-year sponsorship of our children's collection by Shore Distributors! This multi-generational family business right here in Salisbury donated $50,000 to the Building Our Library Together campaign for a new Paul S. Sarbanes Library on Schumaker Pond. Now their name will be seen in every new book added to the Sarbanes children's collection, inspiring the next generation of lifelong readers.
"I am deeply grateful to Shore Distributors for their generous sponsorship of our children’s collection," said the Library's Youth Services Manager, Karen Earp, about Shore Distributors' donation. "Books are essential to a child’s growth—sparking imagination, building literacy skills, and opening doors to new ideas and opportunities. With this support, our library can continue providing families throughout the community with stories, knowledge, and resources that help children thrive."
We can all agree with that! Please join us in thanking Shore Distributors for their amazing support.
