Only With Your Continuing Support

The Public Library, Albuquerque and Bernalillo County does a lot with little.

Yes, our taxes fund most of the library’s general operating budget, but your donations to the Albuquerque Public Library Foundation’s (APLF) ANNUAL APPEAL support so much more.

Did you know that in fiscal year 2023, our libraries had over 1.5 million visitors and more than 120,000 children and adults who attended library programs?

In 2023, donations to APLF supported:

• Programs to enrich early childhood literacy (Every Child Ready to Read®, Early Literacy Centers, Read to the Dogs, Story Hours)
• Programs to affirm the role of music in building literacy (Ukuleles in the Library, Literacy Kits)
• Programs to connect children and families to the natural world (Beginning Birding Kits, STEM programs, Leap into Science)
• Programs to bring our community together (Library Event Guides, Community Baby Showers)
• And more

Our libraries serve as dynamic centers for education, community building, and personal growth. With your contributions, we will continue to expand the reach of our library system beyond its traditional role.

May we count on you? We are deeply grateful for your support and ask that you fund APLF in its mission by contributing online.

Community Giving. Community Strong.
