The goal of the Foundation is to enrich the Portage County Public Library's basic services, to promote the growth and creation of a first-rate library. The private dollars raised are used to improve and enhance the basic library services that are the responsibility of local government.

Public monies fund a fine public library for citizens of Portage County, but it is private gifts that make it flourish. The Portage County Public Library Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
