Stillwater Public Library

“A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.”
~ Andrew Carnegie

In 1902, Andrew Carnegie gave a gift of $27,500 to fund construction of a beautiful Stillwater Public Library. Today, the library remains a vital resource, providing books, adult and youth programs, community space, Wi-Fi and technology resources, volunteer opportunities, and much more.

The Stillwater Public Library Foundation

The Stillwater Public Library Foundation is a nonprofit organization that builds private support for Stillwater Public Library so the library can continue to provide strong programs, services, and opportunities for our community beyond what public funding alone can provide.

Our Vision: Stillwater Public Library is celebrated as a world-class library! 

Our Mission: To inspire our community to promote, champion, and invest in the success of Stillwater Public Library.

The Heart of the Stillwater Community

The library continues to grow and serves as a vital community resource. It is inclusive, accessible, and welcomes everyone. Stillwater Public Library is an essential education partner, promoting early literacy and student academic success. Library programs build community for patrons of all ages. Additionally, the library supports job seekers by providing technology and career resources.

Your Support Makes A Difference

Donations make the difference between good libraries and great libraries. The books, materials, collections, programs, subscriptions, Sunday hours, mobile W-Fi hotspots, and library building improvements would not be possible without your continued support. 

 

Thank You!

On behalf of all who enjoy the magic of the library -- we extend our sincerest thanks as you consider giving to the Stillwater Public Library Foundation this season.
