The Library Foundation Board of Trustees announces that executive director Nancy Lindberg is retiring and Erin Aldridge has been hired as her successor.

The Library Foundation reports 2019 as record year of giving to the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library. We give tremendous thanks to our many donors! Foundation gifts to the library totaled $1,344,909.95. Major programs and services included: Claire's Courtyard; renovations to the Alice C. Sabatini Gallery, Learning Center and Red Carpet collection; and the Adventuremobile.

In the Lingo Rotunda of the library is The Library Foundation’s Donor Recognition Wall. This interactive eye-catching display is a small way for us to publicly thank the many library donors and share some of their stories of why they give to our award-winning library. All donors, no matter the size of their gift, are listed on our wall. Be sure to take a look on your next visit to the library.
