Make MORE Noyes!

The Make MORE Noyes Campaign is a major capital project that will transform the historic one-room Noyes Children's Library into three accessible floors, going beyond required ADA compliance to create a truly inclusive experience  for ALL children and families.

Why do we need to Make MORE Noyes?
•   Check out our newsletter for great information about The Secret Power of the Children's Book, and about Children's Books that Include Characters with Disabilities.
•  Check out Montgomery County's 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten initiative, launched at Noyes in March, 2018. 
•  And check out these photos from one of the popular Storytimes at Noyes. We are carrying the torch for the children of today - and tomorrow!

The Noyes Children's Library Foundation has committed $1.6million to the Campaign, and we're almost halfway there! Please DONATE TODAY and help keep Noyes open for generations to come.

The Make MORE Noyes Renovation Campaign is a public-private partnership between the Noyes Children’s Library Foundation and Montgomery County to renovate the Noyes Children’s Library in Kensington, MD, bring it into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and make it universally accessible for all families. Without this needed renovation, the Library may need to close.
 
This project will transform the historic one-room library into three accessible floors, working within the 1893 footprint to create more space for early literacy programming and training. The Foundation is committed to raising $1.6 million, with Montgomery County funding the balance of the project.
