New Haven Free Public Library Foundation

The mission of the New Haven Free Public Library is to ensure that all of New Haven’s citizens have full and unlimited access to information and knowledge so that they may meet the needs of daily living, have opportunities for self-education, and participate successfully in self-government.  

The New Haven Free Public Library Foundation helps advance the library's mission by raising money for collections, programs, and strategic priorities; building awareness of the library's impact; and securing community support and involvement.
