Summit County Library Foundation

Mission

Established April 17, 1990, the Summit County Library Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c) (3) corporation. Since the inception, the Foundation provided funds to the Library for various needs where County funding was unavailable. The Foundation’s mission is to serve as an advocate for the Summit County Library System and to provide financial support beyond the Library’s normal operating expenditures, when unanticipated needs arise, and for capital projects.

South Branch Renovations

We are excited to share a special opportunity to support the South Branch Library's efforts to renovate and refresh our beloved children's rooms. As a valued member of our community, your donation can help create a vibrant and engaging space where children can learn, explore, and discover the joy of reading. 

The children’s rooms are places where imaginations soar, and we want to ensure that it remains a welcoming and inspiring environment for years to come. With your support, we can revitalize these spaces with new furniture and carpet, redesigned access to materials, and engaging decor that will spark curiosity and creativity in young minds. This refreshed space will also support parents, caregivers, and teachers by offering a reimagined, welcoming environment for early literacy programs, story time, and library events. 

Your donation will directly impact the lives of children in our community, providing them with a safe and stimulating environment to grow and learn. Whether you can contribute a little or a lot, every donation makes a difference and brings us closer to our goal. Our desired amount is $15,000.  

We understand that these are challenging times, and any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Your support is vital to our success, and we are truly grateful for your consideration. Together, we can create a stronger, more inclusive community where everyone has access to the resources they need to succeed.
