The Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library Foundation is a 501(c)(3) established to support the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library. We inspire and connect the community in a desire for shared exploration, understanding, and engagement in the wonder of knowledge.
Making connections
The Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library Foundation fosters connections in three key ways:
- Connecting the community to the library through events and programs
- Guiding individuals to volunteer and make an impact
- Providing opportunities to financially support the library
Whether through book sales, events, or special initiatives, the Foundation is committed to helping individuals, organizations, and businesses connect through the library and grow in shared knowledge.
