Support Your Library through TD Bank Are you a TD Bank Customer?? You can support your library without spending a dime! |
The Wiggin Memorial Library is now part of the TD Bank Affiliate Program. You can choose the library as one of your supported organizations and TD Bank will make an annual donation to the library. It costs you nothing and the only thing you need to do is contact TD Bank (ANY branch, anywhere) once and let them know that you want to be part of the Affinity Program and add Wiggin Memorial Library (Code: A2215) as your affiliated organization. Tell your friends and family (anywhere) who use TD Bank that they can support your library too!!
2013 Goals for Fundraising Dollars - What would you like to help us with?
- Museum Discount Passes: our discount passes to museums in NH and Boston are used by nearly 500 families every year and save those families $18,000. The library pays $2,500/year for library passes so the extra support through fundraising makes a big difference. Someday we'd like to be able to offer more passes like the Peabody Essex Museum, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum or the Children's Museum of Portland. Our Friends of the Library Group sponsors the SEE Science Center pass at $200/year. Maybe your group or business would like to sponsor a pass?
Annual cost to library for museum passes:
Currier Museum of Art = $65
Boston Museum of Fine Arts = $150
SEE Science Center = $200 (pd for by Friends)
McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center = $250
Strawbery Banke = $250
Children's Museum of NH = $300
Boston Museum of Science = $600
Boston Children's Museum = $675
- Bestsellers - Additional Copies: We try to keep waiting lists as short as possible by purchasing extra copies of the most popular titles. In response to demand, we purchase an additional copy for every 5 people waiting. That helps to keep your wait time down.Fundraising dollars can help us respond to demand so that you don't have to wait as long to read the book you want. You can make a donation and request that the money be used specifically for bestsellers. Even $25 can buy us 2 extra copies of a popular item.

Shop Online and Support the Library Use Charity Blast as an entryway to your favorite stores and a portion of everything you spend will come to support the Wiggin Memorial Library. It doesn't cost you extra and you don't have to fight the crowds at the mall!
How Does It Work? Click onto Charity Blast (http://www.charityblast.com), choose "Wiggin Memorial Library" as your charity and then go on to your favorite shopping places. So, if you are planning to buy a Nikon Coolpix L22 Digital Camera for someone on your list this year, you can go through CharityBlast to get to Target, purchase the camera online (saving $30.00!) and the library will automatically get $1.20! That may not sound like much, but it really adds up. The donations to the library are on your total purchase, so when you buy a TV, some DVDs and a new case for your iPhone at BestBuy, the library could be getting over $100 from your purchase alone. see more examples & stores
There are more than 80 great stores available including:
- Apple & iTunes
- Best Buy
- Disney Store
- Gap
- Kohl's
- Macy's
- Old Navy

Gifts to Your Library Your gift to the library will make a big difference in what we can offer to the community. We're challenging 100% of the community to give! Every gift - no matter the size - makes a difference. Money will be used for books, DVDs, audiobooks, museum passes and more. Remember, gifts to the library are tax deductible.
Ways to Give: General Gifts: Write a check for any amount to the Wiggin Memorial Library, and use the memo/note line to specify what you would like the gift to be used for. Send checks to: Wiggin Memorial Library, Fundraising Committee, 10 Bunker Hill Ave., Stratham, NH 03885. We will send you a letter with our tax status information for your accounting purposes.
Summer Program Support: Our many summer programs (performers, crafts, reading incentives) reach all ages and take a lot of resources. You can make a gift to support children's, teens or adult summer programs and help us reach even more people. Write a check for any amount to the Wiggin Memorial Library, and use the memo/note line to specify "Summer Programs" and what age group you would like the gift to be used for. Send checks to: Wiggin Memorial Library, Summer Programs, 10 Bunker Hill Ave., Stratham, NH 03885. We will send you a letter with our tax status information for your accounting purposes.
Matching Gifts: Many companies offer matching gift opportunities to their employees. Ask your Human Resources department if you can participate in such a program. Matching gift programs mean that any amount that you donate to the Library will be matched by your company. If you give the Library $250.00, the Library will receive a total of $500.00. Usually all that is required is a short form. |
