These funds shall be in supplement to, but not in place of, those provided by the City of Fullerton. The Foundation is a nonprofit organization governed by a board of community volunteers. |
Why support the Foundation?
Consider this an opportunity to aid in enhancing and expanding the information technology assets of the library and to support major library capital projects.
