Scratch Card Library Fundraising

Scratch cards are a great friends of the library fundraiser. The scratch cards work as a donation system. Each card has 50 spots to scratch off. Concealed under each spot is a dollar amount ranging from $.50 to $3.00. The libraries can have cards at the counter and, as people are checking out books, they can be asked to scratch off two spots to make a donation. In return for their donation they will immediately receive a page of coupons to different national retailers. Once all the dots are scratched off each card will raise $100.00.

Botika Candles

A friends of the library candle fundraiser never smelled so good! Many groups sell Botika Glowz Candles as a pre sell fundraiser. Another option for libraries is to purchase a number of candles up front and have them in the library to sell. When individuals come up to check out books, they will have an opportunity to purchase a candle as well, knowing that the proceeds will go to help the library. The library will make 50% profit!

Library Lollipop Fundraiser

A great public library fundraising idea is selling lollipops. The most popular are Carousel Rounds. The library will make 50% profit and, for an additional $10, they can purchase a stand that can be placed on the counter that will hold the lollipops. This is a fundraising idea for a library that can be done year round. There is only a one case minimum at $144.00 per case. Each case consists of 576 lollipops and sells for $.50 each.
