Booked for the Evening Photos

Booked for the Evening was held at King Estate on August 16 and was a lovely evening of wine tasting, dinner and cabaret entertainment while celebrating the Foundation’s work to enhance and benefit the Eugene Public Library. We appreciate Anne Marie Levis and Dana Siebert, who served as Honorary Co-chairs, and SELCO Community Credit Union, the Presenting Sponsor for Booked for the Evening. We are celebrating our success as the event brought in $21,000 in donations during the evening. The Foundation is grateful to all who contributed to the success of this amazing event!

The Eugene Public Library Foundation gave a check to Connie Bennett, Director of Library Services, at its February meeting for over $100,000.00. This represents donations of many of the patrons and some grants. Funds can be used for new books and media, library enhancement, and endowment. The Foundation is very grateful to the donors who have been so generous in their support of the Foundation.

The Foundation was very fortunate to receive a grant from the Cressey Family Trust in December. The Foundation Board and the Library staff formed the Joint Projects Committee as a result of the strategic plan formulated last spring. This committee now is working to develop a plan for the use of the Cressey Family Trust grant that will fulfill the intention of the donor to promote literacy. The grant provides a very welcome financial support for the library and provides the new committee an opportunity to develop a long-term project that will be beneficial to the library and to the community.

The Foundation Board offers our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the Eugene Public Library Foundation in 2007. Every gift of every size is important. Maintaining an excellent public library requires a strong partnership between private and public entities. The Foundation’s goal is to strengthen and maintain that partnership.

We look forward to continuing our mutual commitment to ensure excellence at the Eugene Public Library. Donors like you make all the difference.

The Eugene Public Library Foundation is open M-F from 10:30AM - 3:30PM.
