In 1925, a group of determined Martinsburg women raised $8,000 in just six months to establish a public library for their community. One hundred years later, the Martinsburg Public Library is still going strong, and the Friends of the Martinsburg Public Library are proud to carry that legacy forward.
Now you have the opportunity to be part of that story. By sponsoring the Centennial Celebration & Fundraiser on September 19th, you are showing your neighbors, your customers, and all of Berkeley County your commitment to learning, literacy, and access to knowledge in our community.
Sponsorships are available at a variety of levels, each named in the spirit of the Roaring Twenties evening we have planned. All sponsors will be recognized at the event and across FOMPL marketing and communications as per the Centennial Sponsorship Levels leading up to September 19th.
