Libraries have never been just about books. They’ve been about access to information, inspiration, and amazement. They’re a gateway to a better future- not just for the individual, but for us all. The GCPL Foundation’s mission is to encourage private support in order to enhance funding for the following four key strategic program and capital areas:

We believe every child has the potential to succeed in life, but the path to success begins long before they enter a classroom. Your investment in our Early Childhood Literacy Fund will allow the Gwinnett County Public Library to continue the essential work of supporting early literacy skills and training in the areas of our community that are most at-risk.

Robin Skelly from the Norcross Branch visited the Norcross First United Methodist Church preschool for a storytime and bag distribution. This school serves primarily spanish speaking families from the local apartment complexes. A parent reported that her son loved the book so much he was sleeping with it in his crib. She could hear him “reading” the book over the baby monitor.
