Support the Durham Library Foundation
We are sustained today by a growing number of citizens who share the conviction that free access to information, programs, and services is a linchpin to democracy. Won’t you join us in our efforts to develop and sustain a world-class library system in Durham County North Carolina?
You can give annually, make a one-time contribution, bestow gifts of stock or engage with us on planned giving opportunities. Thank you for helping our libraries stay relevant, vibrant, and enjoyed by all with your tax deductible contribution, and for helping Durham Library Foundation fulfill its mission of excellence.
Annual Giving
DLF celebrates donors and gifts of every size, and we are frequently inspired by our contributors. Emily Sloop sent a note with her gift that said, “Keep up the Reading Program. I was a little girl who climbed the maple tree in her yard in Asheville, NC, and read all summer. I know what it means to be transported to lands beyond my mountains! Thank you.”
Events
Our Durham County Library humanities program brings nationally recognized authors, performers, and world-class scholars to the library community through events that focus on music, art, local history, religion, literature, and culture.
Humanities programming is funded by the Durham Library Foundation.
