Our Mission

Our mission is simple: Support Cary Library!

The Cary Library Foundation raises private funds for Cary Library, enabling creative library programming, additions to the collection, and innovative technology for the benefit of all.

We are a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization (Tax ID number 04-3462996). All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.

“Without the Foundation, we could turn on the lights, we could open the doors, we could answer the questions, but we couldn’t do everything else — offer programming, art displays, engaging spaces, innovative technology, and community gatherings where people share each other’s passions and talents. That all comes from donor dollars. All of it.”
— Koren Stembridge, Director of Cary Memorial Library
