The DeKalb Library Foundation in Decatur, GA, extends support to the DeKalb County Public Library beyond public funding. It aims to enhance the lives of DeKalb County residents by providing educational, cultural, and literary programs and services.
While tax dollars cover basic expenses like books and staff, the Foundation raises around $300,000 annually to support programs not covered by public funds. Among the top three programs funded by the Foundation are Mobile Hotspot Devices for free internet access, Library Programming offering various programs for all age groups, and the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten initiative.
Through donations and community engagement, the Foundation plays a crucial role in enriching the library experience for over 2,500 patrons yearly, promoting literacy, and providing valuable resources for families and individuals in the DeKalb County area.
