Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Education, Fund Raising & Fund Distribution, Libraries
Mission: To ensure excellent library programs, services, and facilities for all people by developing and encouraging community investment and participation, today and tomorrow.
Programs: Early literacy outreach / ready to read - this program funds early literacy efforts which includes providing early literacy kits to new moms and parents/caregivers of pre-readers. These kits include books, resources, and a library card application. It also supports the distribution of mini-libraries throughout the community that brings awareness of the importance of reading to pre-readers so that they will be ready to read when they get to kindergarten.
the library foundation program funding supports some library district programming as well as community based programming, the largest of which is the take 20 and read school based program. We partner with the local school districts' elementary schools and have the kids and classrooms take the take 20 and read pledge. When they hit their reading goals, we award the kids and the classrooms with books that they get to keep. Another community based program is senior services outreach / books to you - this program serves to bring library materials to those that are homebound and cannot come to the library themselves.
