Our Mission

To enhance the stability of the Galway Public Library by providing financial support.

Our goal is to provide financial resources on an annual basis to assist the Galway Public Library in meeting the needs not supported by public funding. In addition, the foundation may potentially establish long-term goals such as providing funds for a capital campaign.

The Galway Public Library Foundation (GPLF) was established to enable the Library to provide services and programs beyond the capabilities of the normal budget. The most significant characteristic of the GPLF is its ability to maximize the benefits of donations.  Donations made directly to the Library immediately become public funds and are subject to very tight restrictions.

We welcome you to explore the opportunities available to you to provide financial support to the Galway Public Library through this Foundation.
