Pierce County Library Foundation
Mission
We are community leaders and advocates who collaborate with the Pierce County Library System.
We develop trusting, enduring relationships with community members, businesses and organizations. We also raise private funds and invest them in the Library’s strategic priorities to nurture and boost the human potential required to thrive in today’s knowledge economy.
We foster innovation to ensure access for all and inspire lifelong learning, for a thriving, diverse Pierce County, now and in the future.
Vision
Ignite literacy of all kinds for every child, teen and adult in Pierce County to build a knowledgeable, aware, engaged and empowered community, critical to fueling our social and economic prosperity.
Impact
The Pierce County Library Foundation was established to provide support above and beyond Pierce County Library System public funding, ensuring access to vital Library resources for residents.
The Foundation partners with the Library to identify opportunities for donors, to enhance support for existing services and fund new initiatives that meet the changing Learning, Enjoyment and Community needs of Library customers.
Individual, corporate and foundation donations to the Foundation are invested in:
- Enhancements - things that cannot be supported with public funding, but if provided, enhance key programs and services.
- Innovations – added resources, programs or services that support the Library’s mission.
