Library board unveils 'Dine Around Sandy' fundraisers to pay for mobile library
Summary
Board staff described a series of restaurant fundraisers across Sandy that will direct 10–25% of sales during specified hours to the mobile library; Chipotle and Panda Express require an online code or physical flyer to credit the library.
Sarah, a library staff member, urged the board to promote a set of restaurant fundraisers to support the mobile library, saying, “we have 6 locations for dining around Sandy that are going to… give between 10–25% of the sales” to the library. Paper flyers were distributed at the meeting and staff detailed that Chipotle and Panda Express will credit orders only if customers show a physical flyer or use an online code at checkout.
The board discussed distribution and promotion plans, including posting on library and community social pages and placing flyers at city hall and the community center. Sarah asked board members to “invite your friends, family, everybody you can” and noted additional restaurants may be added in a second round planned for late September into October. The fundraising methods include restaurant givebacks and a planned coffee promotion that will return $5 per bag to the mobile library fund.
