BUILDING FEATURE
Vision
The Foundation’s journey toward making the
library as completely self-sustaining as possible creates both opportunities
and challenges. Opportunities include discovering donors who share our
passion for what the library offers in the 21st century and our being
good stewards of those donors and their gifts which come our way. The
Foundation’s biggest challenge is to capture and convey the sense
of community pride, patron loyalty and staff dedication that makes your
library the 2008 National Library of the Year.
Mission
The Laramie County Library Foundation, a non-profit
entity, is a registered 501(c)3 organization, which exists to raise, administer
and disburse private funds, grants, bequests, and gifts to the benefit
of the LaramieCounty Library System. Funds generated by the Foundation
provide enhanced library services beyond the basic services funded by
the public tax dollar.
