The Library Foundation and Multnomah County Library work together to determine where private funds can be leveraged to have the greatest impact. We also work to raise visibility for the library's importance in our community, bolstering public support for a strong, lasting library system. Last year, our support allowed the library to reach more than 145,000 of our county's most vulnerable children

🌞📖Only one more week until youth participating in Summer Reading can claim their next prize for reading achievement!

Designed as a fun and challenging game, this achievement-based program encourages engagement with books all summer long, keeping students focused when they are at the greatest risk of reading-skill loss.

Gifts to the Library Foundation help keep kids across Multnomah County reading all summer long.
