FEATURED EVENTS
MLF SURVEY
The Memphis Library Foundation needs your input! Over the years, Memphis Public Libraries staff have observed that men are less likely to visit the library and access its resources as compared to women. We want to change that. Help us imagine more for our city and libraries by sharing your thoughts in this survey about programs for men and their families. Share your thoughts in MLF's survey before it closes August 31.
The Memphis Library Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was established in 1994, chartered as the Foundation for the Library. Its mission is to enhance the 18 Memphis Public Libraries by securing funding through grants and private support. Join with our libraries and make a contribution today to continue their life-changing work. Donate here today.
