Library Foundation says Polar Express screening raised small initial proceeds toward $100,000 mobile-library goal
Summary
The Eagle Public Library Foundation reported a successful family screening at a local theater, said it sold over 200 tickets and received $18.15 in proceeds from the partnership's first installment, and reiterated a roughly $100,000 fundraising target for a mobile library.
Michelle Forstel, representing the Eagle Public Library Foundation, told the board the foundation ran a children’s holiday showing of The Polar Express at the Eagle Luxe Theater as a community fundraising partnership. Forstel said there were “over 200 tickets sold” and that the foundation’s first installment from that partnership was $18.15; she described the screening, a giving tree in the theater lobby and community outreach at the Saturday market as part of broader fundraising efforts toward a mobile library.
Forstel said the foundation’s mobile-library fundraising goal was described in the meeting as $100,000 (the transcript also references $93,000 as a precise number that the foundation rounded up to $100,000). She asked for board support for outreach and donations and invited the board to consider future foundation presentations about goals and strategy.
