The holidays are about more than twinkling lights and hot cocoa—they're about coming together to lift our community. This year, Clermont County Public Library is partnering with United Way for our Holiday Giving Program, and we're asking for your help to make a difference in the lives of local students.
School Supplies = Success Stories
From November 12 through December 17, we're collecting brand-new school supplies for United Way's Backpacks for Success program. These aren't just pencils and notebooks—they're tools to unlock potential, build confidence, and remove barriers to learning for students right here in Clermont County.
Imagine a child walking into class with a fresh backpack filled with everything they need to succeed. That confidence boost? That's the power of community generosity in action.
How You Can Donate to the Holiday Giving Program
Drop off your donations at any of our ten library branches during the collection period, during regular library hours. It's that easy! Here's what we need:
The Essentials:
Backpacks (because every student deserves a fresh start)
Pocket folders
Flat boxes of facial tissues
24 packs of crayons
12 packs of sticky notes
Packs of:
Notebook paper
Highlighters
Index cards
Washable markers
Dry-erase markers
Pens
Pre-sharpened #2 pencils
Every item on this list matters. Whether you bring one pack of pencils or an entire backpack stuffed with supplies, your contribution will impact a student's ability to learn, grow, and thrive.
Why This Matters
By participating in our Holiday Giving Program, you're ensuring that financial constraints don't stand between a child and their education. You're saying, "I believe in you. You matter. Your education matters."
