Adult Coloring Contest Fundraiser 2021
This season, we’re putting the “fun” in fundraiser with a coloring contest for grown-ups! Now that the kids are back to school, it’s time to borrow those art supplies. HOW IT WORKS: Starting on Monday, November 29th, you can stop at the Nauvoo Public Library to get your coloring page and a copy of this information sheet. Each coloring page costs $5, which helps support the library. Color your page using crayons, pens, pencils, markers, or any combination. Turn in your completed masterpiece to the Nauvoo Public Library by Tuesday, December 14th to be eligible for judging. JUDGING: Judging will be held later that week and will be anonymous. Judges are not eligible for participation. Your coloring page will have a number on the back and only the library staff members, who will NOT be participating in judging, will know whose page is whose. Judges will contact the library with the winners so that the staff can notify the winners by the following week. PRIZES: The judges will be picking a first, second, and third place winner. Winners of the first, second, and third place will all be receiving a lovely prize, as well as a place of honor in our window display. We look forward to seeing your creativity this season! Wrapping up the Holiday Season Fundraiser The holiday season is always a whirlwind! This year, let our fantastic volunteer elves help you out while you support your local library. Volunteers will be in the meeting room at Nauvoo City Hall on Saturday, December 11th and will be receiving presents to be wrapped from 8am until 3pm. This is a free will donation event, though a $5 minimum is appreciated. All proceeds help the library. If you want to drop off your presents for wrapping, they MUST be in a box with your full name and contact information written on the box. Each present MUST have a sticky note on it with the gift recipients name as you wish it to be displayed so that our elves can mark the presents for you once they are wrapped. As soon as your presents are ready, we will contact you for pick-up. All wrapped presents must be picked up the same day. Volunteers/Donations If you have any wrapping paper or wrapping supplies that you would like to donate, you can drop off your donations at the Nauvoo Public Library. Donations will be greatly appreciated and put to good use! The wrapping event goes from 8am until 4pm in the meeting room of Nauvoo City Hall on Saturday, December 11th and there are 4 different short shifts that need volunteers. Shift 1: 8am-10am Shift 2: 10am-12pm Shift 3: 12pm-2pm Shift 4: 2pm-4pm If you would be interested in wrapping for one of these shifts, please come in or call the Nauvoo Public Library at 217-453-2707 to put your name on the sign-up sheet. We appreciate your interest in this event and we look forward to sharing the holiday season with you all! Rubber Ducky Club For Children 3 and under. New Activities every month.
