Empowering Learning. Strengthening Connections.

Welcome to the Lafayette Public Library Foundation

Supporting Literacy

The Foundation has been a major financial sponsor of the Lafayette Reads Together (LRT) community program, donating over $45,000 in funds to date. We also sponsor the library’s 1000 Books Before Kindergarten initiative.

Connecting Our Community

The Foundation funds library community outreach services such as the production and application of the colorful artwork on the LPL Bookmobile.

Improving Our Library

Through our Endowment Program, the Foundation has  donated over 10,000 books to the Lafayette Public Library. We also sponsor special library projects, such as the mural at the entrance to the children’s section at the Main Branch.
