CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY + FOUNDATION 2012 annual report

OUR CHICAGO. OUR STORIES. CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY welcomes and supports all people in their enjoyment of reading and pursuit of lifelong learning. Working together, we strive to provide equal access to information, ideas and knowledge through books, programs and other resources. We believe in the freedom to read, to learn, to discover.

Our mission. CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION’S mission is to support collection development, programs and technology initiatives that chicagopubliclibrary.org connect library users to their community and to the world and ensure that all Chicagoans have the freedom to read, to learn and to discover at the Chicago Public Library. The Foundation was created in 1986 by visionary civic leaders cplfoundation.org who shared a conviction that private resources are essential to keeping the outstanding Chicago Public Library truly world-class. Established in the spirit of true public/private partnership with the City, the Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization. Gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible. 2 CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY + FOUNDATION 2012 ANNUAL REPORT 3
