Mission

 

The Great Falls Public Library Foundation was created in 1968 by far-sighted citizens who understood that our Library cannot rely on public funding alone in order to remain a strong and vital organization.  Through private contributions, the Library Foundation has helped the Library by:

• Providing books for the Library’s permanent collection, thus encouraging                        lifelong readers.

• Funding the Library’s young adult section and providing ongoing support                          for children’s resources, thus sustaining children and families through library                  programs and updated materials.

• Supporting the bookmobile so the Library can reach out to serve readers and                  educators across Cascade County.

• Building vibrant library collections by funding a variety of projects.

• Improving library facilities, including a front plaza and fountain renovation and              new furniture to make the Library a welcoming and comfortable environment.

• Funding upgrades to electronic access and materials to ensure the Library is                    a contemporary source of knowledge and information.

• Enhancing local residents’ cultural experiences by funding various community                events and programs.
