Library Unveiled
The Salvation Army unveiled its children’s library yesterday to a bunch of excited children and their supporters. As soon as they helped cut the ribbon, they rushed into the room to check out the new computers.
Their new library boasts brand-new laptop computers loaded with educational and creative software. The reading corner is a large space with new shelves, bookcases and hundreds of new books for every level of reader. In another area, tables are neatly arranged for children to do homework, crafts or reading.
The new literary space is a result of a community partnership between The Salvation Army and the Target Corporation who granted $25,000 to support education in Monroe County.

Valentine’s Day and Super Bowl Sunday are only a week apart, and Target is celebrating with a two-week-long online giving campaign through their Facebook page at facebook.com/Target!
Their ‘Super Love Sender’ campaign, which runs from January 31 through February 14, 2010, combines football and romance just in time for these special days. Participants will decide how 5 national charities will receive a portion of $1 million donation from Target to fund educational programming. The charities are:
- The Salvation Army
- Kids In Need Foundation
- St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
- United Way
- United Through Reading® Military Program
Through Super Love Sender, participants can send a funny, football-inspired valentine video card to significant others, friends, and family in support of the charity of their choice. Best of all, the cards are free to participants! Every time an online video card is sent, the selected charity will receive one vote. The total percentage of votes will correlate to the charities’ portion of the $1 million received in a one-time donation from Target.
Participants can send a maximum of 10 video cards per computer per day, throughout the campaign. All votes and dollars allocated will be updated in real time on the Target Facebook Page, and the final donation allocation will be announced on February 15, 2010.
Once you create a card for someone special, be sure to leave a comment on our Facebook page about how you chose to personalize it and your tips for other participants!
