Support Your Library

 

You can help to support one of the community’s most important civic institutions -- the library.

 

The Kitchener Public Library is an important community space, a gathering place for people, ideas, and culture.

 

Supporting the Kitchener Public Library means that you’re helping everyone to access the information and life-long learning opportunities that are central to a growing, vibrant community, and the cornerstone of a literate and democratic society.

 

 

You can also donate to the KPL Foundation through Canada Helps.

Annual Giving: Friends of KPL

 

The Kitchener Public Library Foundation was established in 1994. Its mission is to support the development of public library services in the City of Kitchener by raising funds and fostering community goodwill.

 

To meet the costs of new initiatives, the Kitchener Public Library Foundation raises funds through its annual Friends of KPL campaign and special events. The volunteer Board of Directors is drawn from the community and oversees annual fundraising activity.


You can support the Kitchener Public Library Foundation by donating to the annual Friends of KPL campaign. Donation forms are available at all branches of the Kitchener Public Library. Contribute with a gift at one of several donor levels:

 

For all donation levels, you may direct your donation to the general work of the Foundation, to one or more of our Current Fundraising Initiatives, or to a Library service of your choice.
