Summer of Giving Featuring J. Palino Jewelry

This summer, Whelden Memorial Library is partnering with local artist J. Palino Jewelry for a special fundraising campaign that gives supporters the opportunity to help sustain the library while having a chance to receive a beautiful handcrafted piece of jewelry.

For every 125 donations received through the Summer of Giving campaign, one donor will be selected to receive an original J. Palino bracelet as a gift of appreciation. Four bracelets will be awarded in total as donation milestones are reached.

J. Palino Jewelry is known for distinctive handcrafted designs and does not sell online or ship products, making this a rare opportunity for supporters both near and far to receive one of these sought-after pieces.

As an independent nonprofit library, Whelden Memorial Library relies on community support to maintain collections, offer programs and services, preserve local history, and ensure the library remains a vibrant resource for future generations. Every donation, regardless of size, helps advance that mission.

Our suggested donation is $25, but supporters are welcome to give at any level. The campaign goal is 500 donors and $12,500 raised to support the library's ongoing operations and community programming.

Whether you're contributing because you love libraries, value local history, appreciate the arts, or simply want to support a community institution, your generosity makes a difference.

Suggested Donation: $25

Campaign Goal: 500 donors / $12,500
