Support Your Local Library

Like many charities and organizations, Foundation for Baltimore County Public Library has been hit hard by the pandemic this year. Both of our biggest annual fundraisers had to be cancelled this year. These events help underwrite our support of the library and programs like Battle of the Books, Summer Reading Challenge and so much more. If you would still like to support our good work, please consider making a donation.
You can also support by making a purchase from our Be All In Shop, our Etsy store filled with exclusive items designed right here. From tees to tote bags, magnets to mugs, hoodies to hats. These make for great gifts, or just treat yourself! All proceeds support the Foundation.
