The Funds
Every dollar makes a difference.

Public funds arent enough to meet the needs of our Library system. Library circulation continues to increase along with participation in programs and demand for services. At the same time, public funding for Library operations decreased.

Your gift to The Seattle Public Library Foundation provides funds for the books, materials, and programs that wouldnt otherwise be possible. Heres how some of the donations were put to work:
  • Gifts to the Library Foundation support early literacy activities for pre-school children, homework help services for students, book groups for seniors and free programs by leading authors and artists.
  • In 2005, the Library was able to purchase 67,000 additional items for the collections thanks to our donors.
As our population changes and grows, the demand for more books, materials, and programs continues. Thats why your donation large or small is so important.
