Welcome to the VPL Foundation

Your story makes libraries stronger

Sharing how the library made your life, or the life of someone you love, better inspires others to invest in libraries. 

 Whether it’s an epic or an anecdote, an old snapshot or a photoshoot, sharing how libraries have enriched your life helps us enrich libraries.  Your stories and photos help us raise the funds that keep VPL resilient, adaptable, and extraordinary. 

People give to people. When someone reads about what the library has meant to you and learns how it has connected you, supported you, or changed something in your life, it can inspire them to give.
