Foundation for the Blount County Public Library
Meeting today's needs. Building tomorrow's legacy.
Somewhere in this building, a boy is reading his first chapter book. A young woman is applying for her first job. Two friends are catching up over coffee. The Blount County Public Library holds so much more than books, and the Foundation for the Blount County Public Library is here to help, every step of the way.

In their words
Every life we touch holds a story. We are grateful for those who shared their experiences.
My son picked out his first chapter book here on a rainy Tuesday, and he hasn't stopped reading since. Storytime gave our whole family a place to belong.

I updated my resume on a library computer and took a free workshop on interviewing. Three weeks later I had an offer. I couldn't have done it without this place.

I've shelved books here for eighteen years. Watching the Foundation fund the upgrades that keep our doors open has been one of the great joys of my retirement.
