[Donate today and receive a free bookplate sticker.]( As the Managing Librarian of the Children's Center at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL), I see each day the life-changing power of reading. I love watching our young patrons discover the books that will inspire them and help them develop an enduring love of reading and learning. This year, our Spring Kids Book Fund has an ambitious goal to raise $120,000 so we can add 6,000 books, e-books, and audiobooks to our children's collections and make our books and resources available to even more kids. Can our city's youngest readers count on you to make your first-ever gift to the Library?

Give now while your support will be doubled! Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar to help us reach twice as many kids. On behalf of New York's youngest readers, I thank you.
