The Normal Public Library Foundation connects people to our library through programs for readers, adventurers, and explorers. For more than ten years, we have offered programs that delight, enrich, and nourish curious minds.
Your Funding Supports
The Normal Public Library Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization that works as a catalyst to strengthen and inspire our growing community library.
We support Normal Public Library through fundraising, advocacy, and programs because we believe that our community library is essential to a strong community.
Even in a town that loves its library, public funding isn’t enough to provide all the important resources that our community seeks.
Help us to fund Summer Reading, author visits, poetry, live music, 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, theater performances, magic performances, LEGO events, and more!

At Normal Public Library Foundation, we support Normal Public Library, a community institution that has been making a difference for over 80 years. The Normal Public Library enriches the quality of life for community residents by providing a free, public place where community members learn, apply for jobs, attend literacy and education classes, and participate in community events. Libraries also provide a safe space for teens, reduce crime, and provide free access to the internet which is essential in today’s world. Libraries support an informed community, provide creative outlets, promote literacy, help children grow, and reduce the digital divide.
Even the best library can suffer from limited funding and the library needs more support than what traditional funding can provide. Our Foundation is a community-based organization that raises funds to enhance Normal Public Library. By making a recurring donation, you will help take the library from normal to extraordinary. You can also learn more about the work of our Foundation and help spread the word so others can join us in our mission to contribute to the greater good. By partnering with our Foundation you will make a positive difference in the community and know that you are helping to enrich the quality of life for tens of thousands of community members.
