The Library Foundation of Southlake (LFOS) has launched its first fundraiser to support the Southlake Public Library’s hands-on learning initiatives. The LFOS is raising funds to donate interactive early learning systems that include games that make learning computer coding and second languages fun while also educational.
“The Library Foundation of Southlake is a 501(c)3 non-profit committed to the support and success of the Southlake Public Library through advocacy, fundraising, and engagement that delights and benefits the community,” said President Lori Burr, a long-time Southlake resident and avid library user. “The library of today is so much more than books. I know first-hand the value of these interactive tools from taking my four grandchildren to the library. I know these additional educational resources will be a big hit with students and adults of all ages.”
Founded in 2022, the LFOS sees its role as fundamental in expanding the library’s current capability. The efforts of the LFOS are guided by an extensive library survey conducted in 2021, feedback generated through community discussions, and the expert guidance of the dedicated library staff.
Donations to the LFOS are tax deductible. Individuals who donate $500 or more will receive a yard sign in recognition of being a Champion of the Library Foundation of Southlake. Those donating more than $1,000 will receive a yard sign and a tote bag.
