Program Description
Event Details
Resolve to make a difference in your community in 2019 through your involvement with the Evergreen Park Public Library Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to enhancing the quality and scope of the library's resources. We accomplish our mission through fundraising, advocacy, and memorable events that draw people together to celebrate community and share an appreciation for the library and its works.
Public funding can only go so far. The foundation was established in 2003 to solicit diversified support to supplement property tax-based funding for library programs, community outreach services, materials, technology, and capital improvements. The foundation board is comprised of community members from the private and public sector who donate their time and expertise to accomplish the foundation’s goals. Evergreen Park Public Library and the foundation work together to determine where private funds will have the greatest impact.
2019 marks the library's 75th anniversary. Special events are in planning, including the Sip & Sample Diamond Anniversary Edition on Saturday, February 9 and the 75th Anniversary Celebration at 115 Bourbon Street on October 12. We need your help! Please plan to attend this first meeting of the year
