The Times May Have Changed, but the Message Remains the Same: Give Where You Live

When our doors reopen, the Foundation and Library will emerge stronger than ever – we look forward to providing the inclusive and welcoming community and the resources, services, and programs that help our Jeffco  community thrive.

The next months will be challenging for all nonprofits. Here at JCLF, we’ve shut down our fundraising events and put our wonderful volunteer staff on ‘furlough’ to do our part to keep our Jeffco community safe and healthy, while our admin staff has been working diligently to respond to the crisis and explore alternative funding to keep the Foundation on course in its support for JCPL.

Won’t you please consider giving today to support our work and the Jeffco community? Even the smallest donation is appreciated and helps in a big way!  Donate at: http://bit.ly/GiveLiteracyGive2JCLF

DONATE

JCLF’s mission is to support and enrich the capabilities, resources and services of the Jefferson County Public Library through fundraising and advocacy efforts that benefit our diverse community. 

If you gave last year, here is some of what YOU helped us accomplish.  And if you didn’t, here are FIVE great reasons to give!

  1. Early Childhood Literacy Programs that help children be reading-ready by Kindergarten. Baby’s First Books and 1000 Books Before Kindergarten help pre-school children and their families get the support they need to help them succeed!
  2. Jefferson County Library Summer Reading Program. This year, over 42,675 Jeffco residents read over 42 MILLION Minutes in the 2019 Mission to Read summer program.  Mission Accomplished!
  3. STEMGirls – middle-school girls gain leadership skills as they run STEM-based exploration groups for elementary school students.
  4. Belmar Library Expansion – we’ve helped fund the Edgewater Family Place and Standley Lake Library Discover Together: Outdoor Adventure Space installations, and this year we’re helping to support Belmar Library’s remodel and expansion.
  5. The semi-annual Whale of a Used Book Sale – these events draws thousands of book lovers for a weekend of fun and book-shopping that raises funds.

Need more reasons? None of this would have been possible without our 300+ community volunteers and without YOUR support. Thank you!
