  Campaign:  [Connecting Business to Cause](/news/campaign/connecting-business-cause)  ![](/sites/default/files/styles/carousel_2x/public/images/Thumbs_Up_in_a_New_OW_Coat.png) 

This season, America's Charities' member, Operation Warm, proudly introduced a new signature program: [A Warm Welcome to the Library](https://www.operationwarm.org/our-partners/operation-warm-library-program/)!

The Operation Warm Library program connects families with their local library and provides libraries with the opportunity to showcase their services and programs. At each fun library event this year, 150 children received an Operation Warm coat and up to two new books. By giving each child a brand new coat when they attend this event, A Warm Welcome to the Library Program fulfills an urgent basic need, while simultaneously encouraging literacy and learning at local libraries.

With Operation Warm's help and volunteer support, 32 libraries across the country have already carried out Warm Welcome to the Library Program events so far.
