Let MHLS know if your library will join The Great Give Back 2025!

This year, The Great Give Back will take place on Saturday, October 18th. However, if you want to choose a different date or create a longer-running program, you can still participate!

When you RSVP using the form below, we will:

  • Add your library’s name to thegreatgiveback.org to show patrons you’ll be participating! We’ll send a new form toward the end of August that you can use to tell us about your program plans.
  • Add your contact person to the 2025 information email list.

Fill out The Great Give Back 2025 RSVP Form.

The mission of The Great Give Back is to provide a day of opportunities for the patrons of the Public Libraries of New York State to participate in meaningful, service-oriented experiences.
