Frequently Asked Questions:
-Who/What is the
Foundation?
The Nederland Community Library Foundation is the fund-raising arm for the library. Money raised by the NCLF goes to support all aspects of the library, including programming, book and magazine purchasing, computer and technology support, and even land development.
-What does the Foundation do?
The NCLF performs a variety of fund-raising activities: used book sales throughout the year; the sale of “pavers”—the bricks outside the front door that can be engraved with a special message or commemoration; and an annual Winter Gala. The NCLF also sends an annual letter to library supporters to report on how donations are spent and to encourage further support.
-How can I donate my gently used books to the library?
We love your donations! Please review these,
and let us know when you’re available to drop the items off at our storage room. It would be helpful if you include approximately how many items or boxes of items you intend to bring.
-I already pay taxes to support the library. Why do they
need a “fund-raising arm?”
The Nederland Community Library Foundation helps support and supplement a variety of programs at the library. For instance, we help fund the Experience Pass program, the Summer and Winter Reading programs, and guest speakers and authors. We are also able to make up shortfalls in funding during lean years to help maintain consistent staff and services.
-How can I get involved or donate to the Foundation?
Contact the library at 303-258-1101 or stop in for information about joining the NCLF.
