Help Us Keep the Story Going

If the library has made a difference in your life, will you help us finish our fiscal year strong?

Your support helps Baltimore County Public Library provide opportunities for learning, discovery and connection all year long. This summer alone, thousands of children and families will participate in the Summer Reading Challenge, enjoy free lunches at library branches, attend engaging programs and discover the joy of reading through initiatives like 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten.

And while we're celebrating summer, we're also looking ahead to an exciting fall. Your generosity helps make special experiences possible, including the Foundation-supported Booked for Baltimore County Public Library author series, which brings acclaimed authors and thought-provoking conversations to our community free of charge.

Every gift helps ensure that our 19 branches and mobile fleet can continue serving as welcoming spaces where people of all ages can explore, learn, create and connect.

As our fiscal year comes to a close, please consider making a donation to help us continue supporting the library's mission this summer and beyond.

Together, we can keep the story going. Show your support now: tinyurl.com/SupportBCPL

Tonight at the Towson Branch at 6:30 p.m. in the Towson Room.

New York Times labor reporter Noam Scheiber talks about his new book, Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class, in conversation with journalist Alec MacGillis.

In recent years, young college graduates have faced an alarming reality: crushing debt, unemployment and jobs below their qualifications. They are frustrated that the time and money they invested in a degree have failed to bring about the opportunities they were promised. With striking empathy, Scheiber paints a vivid portrait of this new working class while telling the dramatic story of its revolt against the status quo.

Noam Scheiber has covered labor and the workplace for more than a decade at The New York Times. Veteran journalist and author Alec MacGillis is a senior reporter for ProPublica and an editor-at-large for The Baltimore Banner. Book sales and signings available following the program.
