ESTABLISHED: 2004
MISSION: The Library Foundation is dedicated to ensuring a great public library system by raising, managing, and allocating funds to expand and enhance the programs and services of our Library.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY: The Library Foundation was founded through the efforts of several Trustees of the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library as they realized outside funding (non-public) was needed to help support the programs and services the Library provides throughout the 41 locations across our community. To this end, The Library Foundation works to raise funds to support the Library’s programs and needs where public dollars cannot.
The Library Foundation helps support the Library’s mission of connecting people with the world of ideas and information through strengthening collections, expanding programs, and enhancing services. The support that donors provide further enhances what the Library can provide for the Cincinnati community. A strong public library system is the foundation upon which a community can preserve the past, empower lives today, and build for the future.
Examples of what the Foundation and donors like you support are Discover Summer (the annual literacy-based summer learning program for youth), MakerSpace equipment at the Madisonville Branch, the annual Writer-in-Residence, the Homework Helper program, the Mary S. Stern Lecture, and much more.
