Help create the next generation of readers

The Library Foundation partners with librarians and library staff to expand the reach and impact of our work. Gifts to the nonprofit support programs like bilingual storytimes, Summer Reading, Everybody Reads, and children’s books in 30+ languages and cultures. Working together, we change the odds for children.
