We are a small, nimble nonprofit that crusades for Multnomah County Library. The Library Foundation and Multnomah County Library work together to determine where private funds can be leveraged to have the greatest impact. We also work to raise visibility of the library's importance in our community, bolstering public support for a strong, lasting library system. Last year, our support allowed the library to reach more than 230,000 people, including some of our county's most vulnerable children and adults. We focus on initiatives that reach those who face serious literacy risks, such as poverty or language barriers. Our work demonstrates what a small, determined nonprofit can achieve in partnership with a strong public library.
