No Cost Events - The Foundation has been working several no cost events to enhance visibility and raise funds. In this regard, the Kroger’s Community Rewards program has made quarterly payments to the Foundation totaling over $4366 in the past two years. Thank you to all who have signed up and to Kroger’s for partnering with the Foundation. May 2011 started a new donation year for Kroger which requires each participating (and new) supporter of the Library to sign up your Kroger Plus Shopper's Card again! This must be done at the Kroger website;(www.krogercommunityrewards.com) Kroger has discontinued the in-store sign-up. Please consider connecting your card now to benefit the Dearborn Public Library Foundation. The current program is scheduled to continue through April 2012.

The Children's Author Luncheon:

The second annual luncheon was held September 17, 20011 featuring Michigan children's books author Ruth Mcnally Barshaw. For the audience the author reviewed her books, her artistic style and how she got started her writing career. She also engaged the young participants in making drawing of the style found in the author's Ellie McDoodle series. Photos of the event are included at the end of this page.

The Dearborn Public Library Foundation wants to thank the many luncheon sponsors that allow the Foundation to host this event.
