To promote the welfare of the Pound Ridge Library to these ends, the foundation will maintain an association of persons interested in the library, will receive and encourage gifts, endowments and bequests to the library, and will otherwise raise funds for the benefit of the library.

More Than Just A Library
New York Times references the Pound Ridge Library in 1952 as a cultural center for the community. Today, in 2012 the Library continues to offer a wide array of services and programs for the community.

The primary goal of the Pound Ridge Library Foundation is to raise money for a Capital Campaign that will underwrite construction of new space to meet the expanding needs of the Library for the 21st Century. The building project has long been part of the Library’s long range plan and will include enhanced service features as well as increased space. The 2004 cost estimate of $3,000,000 has increased in the ensuing years. Realistically, we will need to raise substantially more than $3,000,000 through the Capital Campaign to meet our objectives. To date, approximately $865,000 has been raised.
