Give Local Midland

May 5, 2026

12:00am – 12:00pm

 

Support your local library and help make Give Local Midland the most awesome day of giving our community has ever seen!

Please consider taking five minutes today to give to the Coleman Area Library's Endowment Fund. A percentage of your donations made on May 5 will be MATCHED. 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 building and grounds continue to be safe, accessible, and a healthy environment for our community.

In recent years, this fund has helped us:

• Replace a broken window
• Upgrade from incadescent lighting to LED, saving money on our energy bills
• Clean and restore an area that was flooded by a burst water heater
• Clean and restore an area that was flooded by an overflowing toilet
• And soon we are looking at replacing the roofing

As the library building ages, more extensive maintenance is expected in coming years, from carpet cleaning and/or replacement, to replacing older HVAC equipment. As you know, prices for everything are going up.  The importance of the Maintenance Endowment Fund can not be underestimated.  It allows the library to do repairs as needed, before conditions deteriorate or pose danger to our community and staff.

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.
