Peninsula Library Foundation

In 2018, Peninsula Library and Historical Society will be celebrating its 75th anniversary, inviting people close to the library to reflect on what has been accomplished and to wonder what the years ahead might hold. The library has been financially sound in recent history, and a majority of its budget depends on public revenue from the state and county for its operations. Trends indicate that libraries will receive smaller portions of public funds in future years, which will severely impact the Library’s operating budget.

The Peninsula Library Foundation was formed in 1993 to address the long term funding issue, and since 2010 it is has provided more than $90,000 in financial support to the Library. The Peninsula Library Foundation’s sole purpose is to support the Peninsula Library and Historical Society through an endowment fund. The endowment fund is a long term investment comprised of donations from people in the community. In its first full year, more than $100,000 was raised and by 2016, the total assets of the Foundation surpassed the $1 million mark because of community generosity.  Your donation to the Foundation will help to provide reliable funds for the Library through this endowment fund.
