The public library has the power to change lives. Visit the library in-person or virtually and you will experience its wonder: a place of opportunity where all are welcome to browse, create, dream, read, and learn. A book can catapult a person forward. A newspaper can spark an idea. A program can teach a new skill.

The life-changing resources at the library are multiplied by the generosity of individual donors and community partners. Gifts to the Duluth Library Foundation, large and small, help the Duluth Public Library ignite a lifelong love of learning and open doors of opportunity.

In 2019, gifts to the Duluth Library Foundation benefited the people who visited the library, in person and online, to read, check out materials, attend programs, play, print information, use computers, socialize, do puzzles, ask questions, request materials, do genealogical research, download books, and access databases—1,000 people per day!

Together, we are creating brighter futures.
