The mission of the West Palm Beach Library Foundation is to raise funds for the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach to provide FREE quality programs, services and resources that enrich and strengthen our diverse community. The City budget only covers the library’s operating costs; your gift supports these life-changing programs for over 760,000 children, teens and adults each year. The Foundation secures support for important Library programs such as Homework Centers for Children & Teens, Early Literacy Programs, Job Help & Technology Training, Children’s Summer Academy, Art & Wellness Classes and more. The West Palm Beach Library Foundation is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization that is independent from the City of West Palm Beach.
