Mission
Statement
The
Ferguson Library Foundation is a nonprofit
organization incorporated in 1987, which uses
private contributions to help the Library
enhance its collection and services, beyond what
is available through public funding.
Since its
incorporation in 1987, The Ferguson Library
Foundation has carefully managed individual and
corporate contributions to the Library, building
a fund that has enriched the quality of library
service in Stamford. Over the years, the
Foundation has been able to provide material and
services to the Library beyond what is available
through public funding, helping make The
Ferguson Library one of the great public
libraries in our state.
Among its gifts, the Foundation has purchased
computer equipment and software for the Library,
installed a fax network for the branches, and
funded furniture and equipment for the Harry
Bennett Branch. The Foundation sponsored a book
buying program for the newly renovated Weed
Memorial & Hollander Branch, and on an ongoing
basis provides funds to buy books for the whole
Library system. The Foundation is now sponsoring
a written history of the Library, authored by
journalist Don Russell.
Please help us continue to provide the Stamford
community with unparalleled library service by
making a gift to The Ferguson Library
Foundation.
