The Denver Public Library Friends Foundation's mission is to enrich the community by building support and raising money to enhance Denver Public Library's programs and services.
One of the most vital things about public libraries is that they are open and free to everyone. The Denver Public Library (DPL) is the most-visited cultural attraction in Denver with over 4 million in-person visits annually. Of course, the library is all about books but it is also so much more than books.
The library is a key player in addressing the city’s most pressing needs and is making a difference. Your donation supports DPL's values of inclusion and accessibility for all through programs and services that assist:
- Children with literacy education.
- Youth who need a safe after-school space where they can connect, learn, and develop social and emotional skills.
- Immigrants and refugees working on citizenship exam preparation and English language acquisition.
- People experiencing tough challenges related to homelessness, mental health, and substance misuse with connection and service referrals.
- Anyone who is digitally disconnected with free computers and internet access.
- Job-seekers with resume-building and job search assistance.
- Older adults and others experiencing social isolation with programs that build connections and expand learning opportunities.
- Researchers studying their family heritage, or Colorado’s history with extensive resources.
- And, of course, those looking for a captivating book, movie, and/or music with an endless selection of books and media.
