Foundation

Your support of the Douglas County Libraries Foundation helps fund programs that reach youth, adults and families in Douglas County and across Colorado, and helps ensure the long-term success of our outstanding libraries. Our libraries are critical to education, neighborhood development, workforce development, and economic development.

Scholarships

The Foundation provides scholarships for kids attending Camp DCL and for adults completing their high school equivalency testing. Thanks to these scholarships, kids in families facing financial hardship get the chance to play and learn at our weeklong spring and summer day camps, and adults are able to achieve their high school graduation goals.

Cuddle Up & Read

Through partnerships with area hospitals, Cuddle Up & Read provides new parents with a fun and meaningful introduction to the library and our early literacy services. The program includes small gifts for mom and baby and an invitation to get baby a library card. We also distribute DCL growth charts, complete with reading suggestions and library service information, to parents through participating pediatricians’ offices across the county.

Summer Reading

Each year, Douglas County Libraries' summer reading program encourages kids to begin reading from a young age, and keeps them reading during school breaks, so they grow up with a strong foundation in literacy. Readers of all ages are encouraged to complete the reading program each year.

Fête des Fables Gala

Our annual Fête des Fables Gala, in addition to traditional cash donations, is a primary way that we fund our support of ECL programs. Each year, Fête des Fables invites guests to enjoy cocktails and a sumptuous meal, shop a fantastic silent auction, and mingle with friends old and new, while celebrating a classic story in a charming venue.
