DONATE!Support the DeKalb Library Foundation

The mission of the DeKalb Library Foundation is to provide support for DeKalb County Public Library beyond public funding and to enrich the lives of DeKalb County citizens through educational, cultural and literary programs and services.

Support Literacy

This February, the DeKalb Library Foundation has a Love Your Library campaign to fund library literacy programs. Donate $1 in February and post a literacy heart at your local DeKalb County Public Library branch. Or donate online and write LYL in the comment box to have your heart posted at the Decatur Library. Your donation supports DeKalb County Public Library literacy programs for underserved adults and children in our community. Thank you for your support!

Help a good library grow into a great library!

This past year the DeKalb County Public Library welcomed 3.4 million visits through the doors of its twenty two branches. DeKalb County tax dollars provide valuable library information services that make a difference in the lives of DeKalb citizens, but resources are needed beyond public funding.

Your contributions help the DeKalb Library Foundation support children’s programs, family literacy programs, literary programs and expanding the book and materials collection at DeKalb County Public Library.

Literacy Program Endowment Goal Reached

Your gifts to this endowment provide permanent support for DeKalb County Public Library family literacy programs. Thank you for sharing our vision to build a more educated, literate community.
