Mission
We raise funds beyond tax dollar support to build a stronger library in service to our community.
Founded in 1999, the St. Charles City-County Library Foundation supports the St. Charles City-County Library. The St. Charles City-County Library ‘s 11 locations provide convenient access to a full range of innovative and cost-effective services that satisfy the changing needs of the people of Broward County for information, education and recreation.
Our story
An active board of directors oversees our 501(c)3 charitable Foundation, providing advice on fundraising initiatives, grant making, endowment investment, and program/project funding. Through the generosity of its donors, the St. Charles City- County Library Foundation underwrites several programs, projects and services each year. This year these initiatives include:
- Born to Read kits so babies and their new mothers receive their first board book, insulated carrier, and access to their first Library card
- Stay Sharp kits for families who have someone experiencing memory loss related to dementia or Alzheimer's disease
- Storybook Walks that promote literacy and wellness in our local parks
- Library to You bags to aid seniors in transporting their books
- Enhanced library programming to provide large-scale events
- And so much more!
Together we are spreading literacy and increasing access to resources to everyone in our community.
