This May, Foundation for Baltimore County Public Library needs you to be a part of something BIG. One BIG day to EXPLORE how we can make a difference, to LEARN something new, to CREATE fresh opportunities and to CONNECT the community.

THE BIG GIVE, the Foundation’s second annual designated day of giving, is coming! Join us on Friday, May 19 in a show of support for your local library. There will be events at branches around the county, a livestreamed event and giveaways, all culminating in a free sunset concert featuring Starlight Anthem on the rooftop of the Towson Branch Garage from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Double your gift! Thanks to a generous matching grant from Anne and Christopher West, every dollar donated on May 19 will be matched, up to $50,000, making your gift go twice as far!

Donate $100 or more to automatically become an All In Crowd member and receive a BIG glass mug!
