Giving Tuesday // Giving a Lenovo Tablet to Frederick Reads

giving tuesday / a thousand threads
It seems like every day after Thanksgiving has a shopping designation these days… Black Friday, Cyber Monday… it can be a little overwhelming. But Giving Tuesday is one day I think I can get behind. It’s a day that encourages us all to give a little back, and this year I’m excited to say that I had the opportunity to give something pretty big.

Courtesy of Lenovo, I was able to donate a brand new Yoga Tablet to one of my favorite local charities.

Frederick Reads is a partnership between Frederick County Public Libraries and dozens of local organizations to build literacy and foster a love of reading. They hold readings and other events throughout the year, which require a ton of organizing by their lovely chair, Elizabeth Cromwell.

Elizabeth is hard at work prepping for next season’s events, and has already shared a ton of ways she might be able to use the tablet… to research upcoming guests, promote events, and even produce the presentations that accompany speakers on stage.

The tablet is super light, with a little kickstand that makes it easy to set up for movies, or to attach a keyboard to and type… so I know it will come in handy in a lot of ways. I know I’ve gotten a ton of use out of my own.

Thanks Lenovo for making this happen. We all love a good shopping day, but there’s nothing quite like the feeling of giving back.
