Who We Are

Local library supporters have formed the Canby Public Library Foundation (CPLF) to aid our library in enriching lives through educational, cultural, & creative experiences. The foundation is taking a leadership role in mobilizing resources to enhance & sustain our library.

CPLF and the Friends of the Library work as partners to support our Library. CPLF’s emphasis is on building an endowment, guaranteeing long-term financial support of our library. The Friends of the Library raises funds through their successful used book store, and emphasizes volunteerism and involvement. Together, we partner to foster interest in the library and help to fund enhancements to the library’s facilities, collections, services and programs.

 

Where We’re Going

Our goal is to create a $2 million-dollar endowment fund that will financially support our library–in perpetuity–in supplying the various library programs, equipment and resources our community wants and needs.
