Libraries are unique spaces where people from all walks of life have an equal opportunity to use a variety of free offerings. From educational opportunities to arts and culture events, the Memphis Public Libraries strive to meet the needs of all 18 communities its branches serve. Branches can’t do their work without private support from individuals, corporations and foundations. Private support secured by the Memphis Library Foundation ensures that our libraries can truly meet the needs of patrons and transform communities. Please join us and make a contribution today so our libraries can continue their life-changing work.
