Enabling Communities Through Libraries
Tacoma Public Library Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and enhancing the vital role of public libraries in communities. By raising funds and fostering community partnerships, the foundation ensures that libraries can expand their services, programs, and collections to meet the evolving needs of the public.

  • “I visit the library at least once a week with my two kids. We stock up on books, play with puzzles, attend storytime, and make crafts. This is an essential part of our week to make sure we have fresh reading material at our reading levels and to connect.”

  • “Tacoma Public Library is where I got free internet access and Googled ‘how to be a bike mechanic’ when I was 16. Now I’m the programs director for 2nd Cycle and I get to teach young folks how to build and repair bicycles!”

Libraries fuel our community. Supporting the Tacoma Library Foundation creates a stronger Tacoma. Your contribution directly supports Tacoma Public Library in fulfilling its mission to empower our community by bringing people together to discover, connect, create, learn, and thrive.
