The Lancaster Public Library Foundation announced that it will pledge $100,000 toward the development of Lancaster Community Center. These are funds accumulated prior to the start of a fund raising campaign for the project. In addition, the Foundation has previously invested over $50,000 toward the planning and design of the facility and $45,000 in support of the fund raising effort.
The Lancaster Public Library Foundation, founded in 1982, is the source of financial support beyond that provided by the City that enables the Lancaster’s Schreiner Memorial Library to fulfill its vision as “the community’s center for lifelong learning”. This includes funding for books, special programs and materials for the library. The nonprofit foundation is governed by local community and business members and funded through private and corporate donations, endowments and grants.
“This is the precise place that people who gave their money to the Foundation would have wanted it to go, ” stated George Steele, President of the Lancaster Library Foundation. “The community center will serve the community and county for decades and we are confident that the community will get behind this project.”
