Mission Statement: The Grayslake Library Foundation
is a non-profit community organization dedicated to developing
and enhancing the resources and services our Library to meet the growing needs
of the our growing community.
The
Grayslake Library Foundation
was established in August of
2001 and operates in conjunction with the Library Community Foundation. The
Foundation's purpose is to raise funds solely for the support of the Grayslake
Library to meet the growing needs of the community. It is governed by a board of
director comprised of volunteers dedicated to helping the community through the
improvement of the library.
The Foundation is an independent, charitable
organization, which solicits, receives and administers gifts for the Library's
benefit. Gifts are used to fund projects, enhancements and improvements to the
collections and services. Charitable gifts to a library provide for that margin
of excellence a discerning community demands.
Private contributions from generous individuals,
families, businesses, foundations, and organizations throughout the community
help create funding. The charitable gifts are used to fund projects the Library
could not otherwise afford through its annual operating budget. Contributors may
choose to give to the Library in a number of ways:
