Gibsons & District Library Foundation

Our Mission

Our mission at the Gibsons & District Library Foundation is to support the Gibsons & District Public Library over the long term, by providing financial support above and beyond the core funding that the Library receives from government.

 

We believe that the Library is a vitally important community institution and the four pillars of our work in supporting our mission are:

1. Provide supplemental funding to the Library, above and beyond government core funding, through the support of individuals and organizations.
2. Facilitate and promote educational programs by enhancing Library facilities and providing materials and equipment.
3. Encourage community outreach programs for those not able to come to the Library.
4. Receive gifts, bequests, funds and property to hold and invest. Administer those investments and distribute funds to the Library.

 

About Gibsons & District Library Foundation Society

Established in 2001, the Gibsons & District Library Foundation Society is a registered charity, overseen entirely by community volunteers, that operates as a separate and distinct organization from the Library. However, we work closely with the Library Board and staff to ensure that our donors’ contributions are put to the best use. Your gift to the Foundation allows us to continue to fund services and equipment not covered by core funding and to offer support for the growing needs of the library.

Sa Boothroyd’s iconic “10 reasons to visit the Gibsons Public Library” tea towel is back!

Local artist Sa Boothroyd is well-known for her whimsical artwork and she designed this inspiring tea towel to illustrate 10 great reasons to visit the Library. It’s available while supplies last and is still at the amazingly reasonable price of $20.

Pick up one, two, or ten at the library’s circulation desk. Or, you can contact us directly at Sales@GibsonsLibraryFoundation.ca to place an order and arrange for a call to confirm your order and fulfilment details.

To fulfil your order, our delivery area is Langdale to Roberts Creek, but since we’re just a bunch of softies we’ll go as far as Sechelt.

Payment options for purchasing tea towels are:

• Credit Card – in person (at the Library’s circulation desk)
  or by phone (please DO NOT email credit card information)
