The Library Foundation strengthens our communities through diverse literature and cultural programs that are free for the residents we serve. The Foundation’s signature event, A Novel Idea…Read Together, reaches thousands of residents through engaging programs and author visits every year during April and May.
The Foundation’s literary outreach is made possible through generous donations from you.
The money raised through memberships, donations, grants, and bequests enhances our libraries and supports cultural events. It also encourages creative thinking about what more we can do to generate a love of libraries and fulfill the mission they serve in our communities.
Help the Library Foundation continue to enrich our communities with outstanding cultural events through the annual Novel Idea program, improve services and outreach to underserved populations, and enhance lifelong learning for children throughout Deschutes County with the Summer Reading and Early Literacy programs.
