For an Extraordinary Public Library

The Champaign Public Library Foundation was established to encourage private support for the library — gifts that can make the difference between a good library and a truly extraordinary one. Your support can help create a library that excels at:

  • Nourishing the love of learning and reading
  • Bringing the whole community together
  • Making information and opportunity available to all

With your gift to the Foundation, you can be part of the success of a public library that is a point of pride for our whole community.

Installation of paver strips

Patio Pavers Finished

Most of our engraved patio pavers have been installed and our patio is open. Thank you to the many donors whose gifts are recognized with paver inscriptions. To locate your inscription, see our diagram then enjoy a visit to the patio. (Note: Just a few plaques were yet to be installed as of mid-August.)
