About the Foundation

The future calls for a continued effort to raise funds. The ACLF has accepted this challenge. Through a variety of activities, the foundation works year-round to acquaint the community with its efforts and to encourage contributions.

The foundation is a recognized 501 (c) 3 nonprofit agency. Donations to the foundation are tax deductible.

The board of directors, made up of volunteers representing many interests in the community, meets regularly to discuss foundation efforts and activities, to continue investment planning, and to hear updates on library needs.
