About Us
The Durham Library Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization devoted to developing and encouraging long-term financial health and growth of the Durham County Library.
The Foundation solicits gifts from many sources, including those not available to a government-funded library. Private contributions are used to fund programs and improvements that the library could not otherwise afford, and those funds have ensured an extraordinary level of service for Durham, North Carolina citizens.
Annual giving and investment income fund innovative programs and expand traditional library services to patrons of all ages and stages of life in Durham County, North Carolina. Endowment funds are the source of substantial and ongoing support for Humanities programming, the maintenance and development of the Willis P. and Leona Whichard North Carolina Collection, technology improvements, and enhancements to permanent and circulating collections.
The Durham Library Foundation shares the Durham County Library’s vision of Inspiring Lives, Transforming Durham. Join us as we create world-class libraries for the free use and enrichment of all citizens.
