Tis The Season For Giving

Philanthropy makes a real difference 

In the past year, donors have funded nearly 90% of the library's programs and helped ensure that the new north Boulder Library branch will be the best library possible. Consider giving today.

Now that voters have approved the new Boulder Public Library District, your donations can make more of an impact than ever before. The Boulder Library Foundation is now poised to help our libraries become more innovative and engaging than ever.
