The Friends of Chandler Public Library have launched the Season of Friendship, a giving campaign aimed at supporting literacy, learning, and community connection through the Chandler Public Library (CPL). The campaign encourages local residents to contribute during the holiday season to help fund programs and resources for library users of all ages.
The Season of Friendship begins during National Friends of Libraries Week, which runs from October 19 to 25, and continues through January 16, 2026. Donations collected will support initiatives such as STEAM and literacy programs as well as digital resources like LinkedIn Learning.
Tara Anglin, Chandler Public Library development and engagement program manager, said, “Libraries are connection hubs in our community, fostering accessible lifelong learning, connection and programs to residents of all ages. Through support from the Friends and the generosity of our community, we can increase and enhance our resources to our patrons. Whether it’s a child discovering the joy of reading or an adult pursuing new knowledge, the Friends make it possible for our libraries to truly serve everyone.”
Earlier this year, the Friends approved a $100,000 investment for CPL for the 2025–26 fiscal year.
Community members can donate online or in person at any of Chandler’s four library branches. Additional information about supporting the Friends of Chandler Public Library is available on their website.
