This fundraiser is a part of “Bon Appétit for Your Library,” a series of food-themed fundraisers held this summer to benefit the Wilmington Memorial Library’s children’s programming. “Bon Appétit for Your Library” includes “Dining for Dollar” fundraisers at popular local restaurants, including Papa Gino’s on July 13, Friendly’s on July 27, Applebee’s on Aug. 10, Uno Chicago Grill on Aug. 24, and Wendy’s on Sept. 14.
“Bon Appétit for Your Library” is organized by the Friends of the Wilmington Memorial Library, a well-respected local non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for Wilmington’s public library.
The Friends of the Wilmington Memorial Library has a long tradition of supporting library children’s programming. Last year, the Friends was the largest sponsor of library children’s programs, sponsoring 25 events for children in 2008, including concerts, plays, storytelling, magic shows, and puppet shows. The Friends provided prizes and/or refreshments at more than 50 additional library children’s programs last year, including book discussions and writing programs. Attendance at 2008 Friends-sponsored library children’s programs exceeded 1,600.
