About the Hamilton East Public Library Foundation
The Library Foundation exists to ensure that the public library remains a vital, thriving force in our community — not just today, but for generations to come.
We are a nonprofit organization committed to raising private funds that support and enhance the programs, services, and spaces that make the library a center of possibility for all. Every dollar we raise bridges the gap between what public funding provides and what our community truly needs.
Mission
To strengthen the Hamilton East Public Library by funding programs, resources, and initiatives that empower individuals, enrich families, and build a more connected and equitable community.
Purpose
Public libraries are cornerstones of opportunity — but their growing role in education, digital access, economic development, and civic engagement often outpaces public funding. That’s where we come in.
