Sign up for a free online library card and a $5 donation will be made to College For Every Student (CFES) to support Adirondack schools and students!

The Giving Library, an online video archive that connects donors to nonprofits, is kicking off a $100,000 “Share to Give” campaign on December 3, 2013 (today!).

College For Every Student is one of a small number of charitable organizations featured on the Giving Library website (www.givinglibrary.org).

By signing up for a free online Library Card on givinglibrary.org, you can show your support for College For Every Student, simply by sharing the CFES video found there on your Facebook or Twitter pages. For each video shared through the Giving Library website, the organization will donate $5 to CFES.

“This is a creative, no-out-of-pocket expense way to support local students and schools,” said CFES President & CEO Rick Dalton. “Every dollar raised will go directly to CFES programs.”

The Giving Library will donate up to $100,000 during the campaign, which runs until December 15.
