The La Vernia

Library Foundation

Our Purpose

Growing Our Library Together

Our purpose as the La Vernia Library Foundation (LVLF) is to support and advocate for the Jane Yelvington McCallum Public Library, also referred to as the La Vernia Library, by encouraging volunteerism and donations to develop and enhance the facilities, projects, resources, and services of the La Vernia Library.

LVLF is a newly established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to serve as the library’s nonprofit and fundraising arm. We are excited to build a strong foundation of community support and help provide additional opportunities and resources for our library and the people it serves.

"I love supporting our town’s library, a place where books open doors for all ages to learn, grow their imaginations, and discover a lifelong love of reading."
