Summit County Library Foundation

The Summit County Library Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) entity formed in 1991.  Its Mission is to serve as an advocate for the Summit County Library System and to provide financial support beyond the Library's normal operating expenditures, when unanticipated needs arise and for capital projects.  The Foundation is served by an all-volunteer Board of Directors drawn from interested residents of Summit County.  If you are interested in finding out more about the Foundation and its activites please call Brian Edney at 970-389-2382.

Thanks to an excellent response to the 2011 Fall Fund Raising Campaign we are pleased to report more than a doubling in the number of donors and revenues compared to the 2010 campaign.  As a result the Foundation has been able to fund, as planned,

• three additional computers for the Main Library, Frisco
• two replacement digital color copiers for North Branch, Silverthorne and South Branch, Breckenridge with the help of the Friends of the Library
• children's summer reading programs
• web development, part of the downloadable digital collection through the Marmot Library Network and the community relations program.

For the rest of 2012 we face a new but exciting challenge.  The Summit County Government has agreed to support the construction of a new 10,000 sq. ft. library in Breckenridge to replace the existing 3,274 sq. ft. facility.  Two sites are under consideration:

•  One of which is adjacent to the existing library at Rankin Avenue
•  The other would be part of a remodeling of the "old" CMC building on Harris Street to potentially accomodate the Breckenridge Town Hall and the new Library.

More details will be posted on the web site as they become available in the next couple months.
