Support your local library during Give Local Midland, May 5

The image promotes "Give Local Midland," an event on May 5, 2026, from 12am to 12am, featuring hot air balloons and a scenic view.

Give Local Midland is the most awesome day of giving our community has ever seen!

Please consider taking five minutes on May 5 to give to the Coleman Area Library's Endowment Fund. The library's Maintenance Endowment Fund, held at the Midland Area Community Foundation, is used for maintenance and updates of the library building and grounds. These funds help us make sure the library continues to be a safe, accessible, and healthy environment for our community.

After that, you can give to other nonprofits that do work that you support or just kick back and watch how high the giving can go at givelocalmidland.org!

Your donation of any amount will help! Here’s how you can make a difference on May 5:

Make a donation: https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-area-library
Spread the word. Text a friend. Forward this email. Post on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag GiveLocalMidland. Oh, and you can also just tell someone in person – that works, too.

Not able to give on May 5 during the Giving Campaign? We welcome donations to our Endowment Fund any time! Visit www.midlandfoundation.org/fund/coleman-area-library-maintenance-endowment-fund-00398 to make a donation. THANK YOU for supporting the Coleman Area Library!
