3,000 Library Shelves Named!

Thanks to you we have just received our 3,000th donation to name a library shelf in the Eugene Public Library. And we want to celebrate that achievement.

Join your fellow library supporters who have library shelves named in their honor, for their children or in celebration or memory of friends and family. Your donations for Library Shelves helps the Library Foundation fund New Books and New Media in the Library and helps make the Eugene Public Library one of the best in the nation.

Naming a library shelf only costs $100 and it can be used to congratulate a new graduate, to celebrate Mother's Day or Father's Day, or to remember a friend or relative. There are still many shelves left to be named, so name a library shelf today.

One Percent for the Library

 You've probably seen the banner in the downtown library when you stopped in recently. The One Percent for the Library campaign has begun to give everyone the opportunity to support the Eugene Public Library as a legacy. When you leave a gift in your estate plan to the Library Foundation, it will help support the public library for many years and will give you the knowledge that you will help those in the future.

Foundation Funds Live Homework Help

    The Foundation received a grant from the Cressey Family Charitable Trust in December as a result of the strategic plan formulated last spring by the library Joint Projects Committee. The grant provides financial support and an opportunity to develop a long-term project that will be beneficial to the library and to the community.

                The funding grant has become the "Stepping Stones to Information Literacy: Live Homework Help", online project. This real-time, one-on-one tutoring service gives students of all ages live homework help. It is also coordinated outreach to teachers, parents and caregivers, as well as students, so everyone can keep track of schoolwork and progress made. It is available directly through the Eugene Public Library website.

   Thank you to our Donors and Partners
