Who We Are
The Onondaga County Public Library Foundation was developed in 2005 to raise funds to support the mission and
activities of the OCPL system. The
library system includes the central library, 10 branch locations and 20 member libraries. Each separately and together experience many needs that
cannot be met through current resources. Our purpose is to improve and expand the services of the library system by making new sources of revenue available.
The OCPL Foundation Board is made up of interested members of the Central New York community, whose responsibility will be to ensure that the Foundation supports the goals and objectives of OCPL in all of its activities.
Our goal is to encourage "Giving for Lifelong Learning" in Onondaga County.

What We Support
Discovery Summer Initiative
Through organized field trips and related
reading, families discover the connections
between the printed word and local culture.
Field trips originate at the libraries and
include visits to area museums and historical
sites. Our goal is to help prevent reading
skills from declining in the summer months
and to help families experience local culture together.
Youth Empowerment Initiative
Through the creative use of technology,
the library will create attractive learning
experiences for youth that expose them to
life skills, job opportunities, and educational
opportunities. Experiences will include
poetry slams, high-interest authors, and
science fiction events. Our goal is to provide
support for programs that attract teenagers
to the varied learning options at the library.
Special Collection Expansion
Unique collections at the Central Library, the city branches and suburban member libraries will be made accessible to the community. These unique collections include art works, historical memorabilia, geographic and genealogical resources. Our goal is to raise funds to organize these collections, publicize their availability, and allow Central New Yorkers with interests in these areas easy access to them.
