We believe public libraries change lives. 

We also believe these great libraries can’t be sustained on public funding alone. The Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to supporting the Chapel Hill Public Library. We seek private sector support to supplement tax-based funding for the library. 

The Foundation has used its funds to improve the collections of the Library and enhance its services to its surrounding community.  

Support our efforts and give back to the community! 

What is the Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation, and why is it important to our public Library?

The Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation was established in 1997 as a private, tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization operating with its own board of directors.  

The Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation is actively recruiting new members to join the Board of Directors! If you or someone you know has a passion for the Library, nonprofits, or the Chapel Hill Community fill out this interest form to learn more!
