Mission

LA County Library Foundation raises funds and creates partnerships to support LA County Library and the millions of children, teens, and adults whose lives and communities the Library enriches with free resources. The Library is a dynamic and unifying force in Los Angeles County, with LA County Library Foundation a vital partner. Public dollars don’t cover all the Library’s costs for services it provides. LA County Library Foundation works to bridge that funding gap – with gifts from private sources, including corporations, foundations, and individuals – and builds deep-rooted community support for the Library and its role as a civic cornerstone. Donations to LA County Library Foundation are investments in literacy and lifelong learning, a stronger workforce, creativity, and a more inclusive and just community.
