Library Foundation Inc. Serving the People of Multnomah County

Mission

The Library Foundation strengthens our community and creates a bright future for children by supporting, expanding and advocating for Multnomah County Library’s innovative and groundbreaking work. Foundation supporters help our library breathe new life into aging buildings, buy books that capture hearts and minds, and foster a love for reading with tens of thousands of children and families. Last year, supporters helped the library strengthen or expand 12 programs, reach more than 200,000 people and make more than 102,000 books and materials available to children and adults. The foundation and the library work together, in a strong partnership, to determine where private funds can have the greatest impact, prioritizing children and families in under-resourced communities.

Vision

The thrill of discovery and joyful curiosity that lights up the face of a young reader is nothing short of inspiring. These proud moments lend purpose to our vision of a community that is curious, compassionate and educated — a community nurtured and connected by our vibrant public library system. Every page a child turns furthers our mission to strengthen our community and create a brighter future for children by supporting Multnomah County Library's innovative and groundbreaking work.
