As we respond to the economic fallout of the COVID19 pandemic, we are especially mindful of the organizations who have long supported Round Rock’s readers.
We thank the sponsors who have stepped this year, and for many years in the past.
- Friends of the Rock Public Library has made this program possible, and is funding the donations we’ll be making to the Round Rock Area Serving Center and the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter. In sort of a reverse-sponsorship, Friends is also purchasing gift cards from some of the local businesses who have been long-time sponsors of the Summer Reading Program. These gift cards will be used as drawing prizes.
The Friends functions as sort of a booster club for the library, extending the library’s impact on the community. We are so grateful for the extraordinary ways they have stepped up this very unusual year.
- Huntington Learning Center will match the Friends of the Rock Public Library donation to the Round Rock Area Serving Center if we reach our community goal of reading.
- Pedernales Electric Cooperative has provided some offline activities for kids, which the library will distribute as possible.
- Sweet Eats Fruit Farm has provided some passes for children, which the library will distribute as possible.
- Fun 2 Learn Code provides free computer program classes for kids during summer and throughout the school year.
- Texas author P.J. Hoover is providing a free virtual book club for tweens and teens.
- Students from Texas State University Round Rock’s Teacher Education program will host a fun-filled virtual afternoon of math and literacy.
We are leaving our 2019 sponsors visible as an extended thank you. Many of them expressed a willingness to continue supporting the library this summer, but because of the pandemic and the resulting loss of volunteers and in-person gatherings, we could not accommodate their generosity. We are grateful to them for supporting reading in Round Rock!
