PENNIES FOR PEACE DONATIONS BY NEW YORK'S LIBRARIES

The New York State Library is very pleased to announce that through the generosity of New York's libraries, library staff and library users, a first year donation in the amount of $1,950 has been made to Pennies for Peace through the State Library's identifying donation number, (0566).

Pennies for Peace is the Central Asia Institute's program for community-based education in Afghanistan and Pakistan, especially for girls.

Since 1993, the Central Asia Institute has been establishing schools and libraries that offer children hope for a better future. 100% of funds raised are used for overseas program support.

For libraries or individuals that would still like to contribute to Pennies for Peace, please go here.

Thank You to New York's Libraries!
