About the Foundation

The Huntsville Library Foundation was established in 1986 to support the Huntsville-Madison County Library.  With a voluntary Board of up to 15 members, the Foundation believes that a great Library helps make a great community.  As advocates for the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library System, the Huntsville Library Foundation raises awareness and funds to purchase books and other materials that the Library uses to inspire readers and improve our community's quality of life. 

The Huntsville Library Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization.

In the last year, the Huntsville Library Foundation has made monetary donations to all 12 branches, funded the DMZ (Digital Media Zone), has funded the purchase of downloadable audio books for children, and  has given to the general book fund.  The Foundation also sponosors the Annual gala Vive le Livre - Long Live the Book, The Great Big Book Bash and other author events for the Library.
