On February 14, 1990, the Duluth Library Foundation was created to help sustain the Duluth Public Library in its mission to serve the community, making information and technological resources accessible to everyone. We continue in that strong tradition, and invite you to join us in supporting one of Duluth's treasures: the public library. As government funding shrinks, we aim to keep our library strong and to seek new means of sustainability.   You can help! By giving a cash gift By donating stocks, bonds, or other assets By naming the Duluth Library Foundation as a beneficiary in your will By working with us to develop creative ideas for funding the library

Duluth Library Foundation Founders were honored at a reception on June 22, 2011. From left: former Library Director Janet Schroeder; Foundation founder Gilbert Harries; Duluth Mayor Don Ness; former Library Director Beth Kelly; Library Manager Carla Powers; Foundation President Dean Casperson
