Foundation for Geneva Public Library
Mission
The Foundation for Geneva Public Library was established in July 2011 solely to help provide a firm financial basis for Geneva Public Library. The Foundation will seek and accept donations in many forms: cash, securities, bequests, and, subject to board approval, antiques, charitable remainder trusts, fine art, and real property. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) incorporated organization and all contributions are fully tax deductible. Book Sales & Balcony Bookstore
The FGPL supports two annual book sales and runs the Balcony Bookstore. One sale is held in the fall, and the other in spring, and the bookstore is open all year! The Spring Book Sale starts April 2, 2018! We accept books in good condition for our sales all year, just bring them in to one of the circulation desks. We will temporarily be unable to accept book donations beginning April 23rd while the elevator is under construction. Musical Moments
The FGPL also sponsors our monthly series of presentations by local artists, known as Musical Moments. Recitals are held one Friday evening a month, spanning from Autumn to Spring. The library is grateful to Tom McClure, who works hard to organize these events each year. 
A Taste of Jazz
The FGPL sponsors our annual wine, chocolate, and music event known as A Taste of Jazz.

2017-2018 Annual Appeal Campaign
Through past annual appeals, the Foundation for Geneva Public Library (FGPL) has supported specific needs of the Library such as the renovation of the Children’s Floor and the replacement of the Library’s heating and air conditioning system. In order to better serve their mission, FGPL has shifted their annual appeal towards support for the building of an endowment for the Library. Read the 2017-18 FGPL Annual Appeal Letter to learn how your gift to FGPL today is a gift for the Library's future. 2017-2018 Foundation Donor List For a list of previous donors: July 1, 2016 to February 28, 2017 Giving to FGPL
