Give the gift of community

November 28, 2023

Richard comes to the library to feel a sense of belonging.

Each week, he visits the library’s Bensalem branch, collects the newspapers from a staff member who has them waiting, and photocopies puzzles to do at home.

“I’ve been reading the newspaper since I was four,” Richard says. “Newspapers are vital for our democracy.”

Talking with the library staff who prepare his newspapers is just as important. “These days I don’t have many people to have an intelligent conversation with,” Richard explains. “So I like to chat with them for a while.”

Your generosity supports the library facilities, materials, programs, and staff that community members like Richard rely on.

Give Today

This #GivingTuesday, please consider a contribution to Bucks County Free Library’s Annual Fund. Your generous gift today will ensure people like Richard always have a place to connect with others!
