Great Bay State Fundraiser Results
By John Ramsay, Western Massachusetts Regional Library System

We have received the results of the Great Bay State Library Fundraiser, conducted by the six Regional Library Systems, the Massachusetts Library Association, and Barnes & Noble on December 2 and 3, 2005.

On those 2 days, $51,168 in purchases were made using library vouchers at Barnes and Noble stores across the state. This means that Barnes & Noble will donate $12,792 (25% of the total) to the Regions and MLA to benefit libraries.

We thank you for promoting this program to your users and look forward to similar ventures in the future.
