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 helps support the Library’s mission of connecting people with the world of ideas and information through strengthening collections, expanding programs, and enhancing services where and when public dollars cannot. The support that donors provide further enhances what the Library can provide for the Cincinnati community.
The Foundation and donors like you support the Library in many important ways. Summer Reading is the annual literacy-based summer program for youth, serving more than 35,000 youth annually. The Homework Helpers program is designed to offer year-round free tutoring for school-aged children. The new Forest Park Branch received a children’s play space and MakerSpace equipment.
Since 2019, the Library has renovated or built 19 of its 41 locations thanks to the public support it receives. Foundation dollars have helped to enhance those public funds by creating public art at the Price Hill Branch, a new play space at the Downtown Main Library, and much, much more.
A strong public library system is the foundation upon which a community can preserve the past, empower lives today, and build for the future.
