$2.2 million dollars, tons of hard work by teachers, students, parents and community members have helped build an incredible new City College Center for Teaching and Learning. It is now time to fill the Library in this newly restored space with new books for City Collegians to enjoy! For every $25 given a book plate will be placed in a new book to honor anyone you choose.

Dear Supporter,
Thanks to your help, the Joseph Meyerhoff Library at Baltimore City College has added 1,638 books to its collection since August.
At the midway point of the year, our students sat down to reflect on what the new space, and new books, has meant to them. We are excited to share their reflections today.

Thank you again for making this possible!
2937 days ago by The Black KnightThank you again for your generous donations! We raised over $4000 in this quick campaign - mostly through this website and a few checks. Mr. Berg, the City College librarian has also written many grants to add thousands of dollars more worth of books - thank you all.
Please take a minute to fill out this survey
to let us know how you would like your bookplates to read. If you have already filled it out or communicated with Sonya already you do not need to fill it out!
There is always a need for new books so if you want to donate again please contact Sonya Kannam or Ms. Berg for details.
Thank you all for your generous donations! We have hit the half way mark and only have a month left to reach our goal. Please take a minute and send this link and a quick ask to a few family and friends. Personal asks have the highest chance for someone giving!
