What is the Annual
Fund?
The Portland Public Library is a nonprofit organization funded
through public and private contributions. Funding for Library operations
(staffing, heat, electricity, maintenance, etc.) comes primarily from
the City of Portland, with additional support from the State
of Maine and Cumberland County.
All book and materials acquisitions,
information technologies, and our many free
public programs are funded through private donations from individuals, corporations,
businesses and foundations.
Contributions to the Library's Annual Fund are used to
purchase books, reference materials, audiovisual materials and computerized
information resources for
use by our patrons. Beginning
July 1 of each year, the Annual Campaign works to raise funds to
purchase books and materials for the Library. It is imperative
that the Library raise these funds each year.
