Your Support Matters

Funds from the Burlingame Library Foundation benefit every library user.

  1. Books and media enhancement, like the seemingly endless offerings of eBooks on the Libby app

  2. Every program that the Library offers for children, teens and adults all year long

  3. Community access to the most current information technology

  4. Improvement and preservation of the historic buildings and interiors at the Burlingame and Easton branch

While the City pays for the library’s expenses such as salaries and materials, the Foundation supplements that funding in areas where the library deems it will have the greatest impact.

 

Where does the Library Support from the Foundation go? Your donations at work:

Fund contributions from the Foundation to Burlingame Library augment the budget provided by the City of Burlingame to help Burlingame remain a well-curated library collection that provides popular, educational, and entertaining materials. As a result, the Burlingame Library continues to meet the ever-increasing demand for entertaining and free educational programs in our local community thanks to its programs which are fully funded by the Foundation.
