Thank You for Making a Difference
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us for our Mardi Gras Jazz Café fundraiser this March! The evening was filled with live jazz, great conversation, and community connections. Events like this are more than just celebrations—they are essential in advancing the Foundation’s mission to inspire private support from the community to enhance Glenview Public Library’s programs and services.
Because of your generosity, we're proud to fund these impactful programs in 2025:
Glenview Reads Together: $9,000
In April, the Library hosted New York Times bestselling author Catherine Newman for an engaging discussion of her heartfelt novel Sandwich, this year’s Glenview Reads Together selection. Supported by the Foundation, the event welcomed over 250 enthusiastic readers, sparking conversation and connection across the community.
Summer Reading Program: $3,000
A perennial favorite, the Summer Reading Program inspires readers of all ages to keep turning pages through the summer months. With support from the Foundation, the Library enhances the experience with festive kickoff events, prize books, and engaging materials—helping young readers maintain literacy skills while encouraging a lifelong love of reading.
