About
The Boone County Public Library Foundation, officially established in Summer 2022, is a non-profit, tax exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
Contributions to The Foundation will enhance and support our mission statement (Discover. Explore. Experience. A Lifetime of Learning.) beyond the means of public funding. The Foundation and the Library will work together, in a strong partnership, to determine where private funds can be leveraged to have the greatest impact.
All donations are tax deductible. An acknowledgement letter will be sent to the donor.
