Give to Your Library. Invest in Your Community.
Our library is more than books. It is a place where children discover the joy of reading, families learn together, job seekers gain new skills, and neighbors find connection and opportunity.
When you give to The Library Foundation of Youngstown and Mahoning County, you help make those possibilities available to everyone in our community.
Your generosity helps The Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County provide meaningful programs, welcoming spaces, professional development for staff, community outreach, and the resources our patrons need to learn, grow and thrive.
And you can choose where your gift makes a difference.
Choose Your Impact
Programming
Bring learning and discovery to life. Your gift helps provide free, high-impact programs for children, teens, adults and families throughout Mahoning County. From storytimes and literacy programs to technology classes, workforce development and educational workshops, there truly is something for everyone.
Summer Discovery
Keep the joy of reading going all summer long. Summer Discovery encourages readers of all ages to make reading and lifelong learning part of their summer routine. The program helps combat summer learning loss in children while inspiring teens and adults to discover new books, explore new interests and stay connected to the library. Your gift helps provide the books, activities and experiences that make summer reading engaging, rewarding and accessible to our entire community.
Love Your Library
Support the place that means something to you. A gift to Love Your Library helps support the day-to-day needs of our branches, creating safe, welcoming and inspiring spaces where everyone feels at home. Choose the branch that has meant the most to you.
Advocacy
Help give the library a stronger voice. Libraries depend on the support of our community and our government officials. Your gift helps us tell the story of the library’s impact, raise awareness of the challenges facing public libraries and ensure decision-makers understand what is at stake. Together, we can build awareness, gather support and advocate for a strong future for our library and the community we serve.
Greatest Need
Give where your gift can make the greatest difference. Unrestricted gifts allow the Foundation to respond to emerging needs, embrace new opportunities and direct resources where they will have the greatest impact.
Every Gift Makes a Difference
Whether you make a one-time gift or choose to give monthly or quarterly, your generosity helps create a stronger library and a stronger community.
