About the Foundation
The Laramie County Library Foundation exists to raise, administer and
disburse funds, grants, bequests, gifts & corporate donations to enhance
Laramie County's libraries above and beyond what tax dollars can do.
The Foundation seeks to expand the Laramie County Library System's ability
to serve all the people of Laramie County in an equal manner.
The members of the Foundation Board of Directors hope to help create
dynamic community centers where young and old alike can gather to learn,
read and connect with each other and the world around them.
The Foundation hopes to strengthen and expand the library system's ability
to share the world's rich informational resources through advanced technologies
while preserving the irreplaceable value of books.
"Libraries are important to foster a positive family reading environment.
I want my children to have the accessibility and exposure to enjoy reading
books as much as I do."
David Cook
Former President of the Laramie County Library Foundation
