As National Library Week comes to a close, we’re celebrating the incredible impact libraries have on our communities every single day.

Today is Take Action for Libraries Day—a call for all of us to advocate for and invest in the future of these vital community spaces.

Libraries change lives every day, and now is the time to speak up in support of that impact. We encourage you to contact your Baltimore County Council member and voice your support for the proposed $58 million bond funding to create a new Essex Branch, recently announced by County Executive Kathy Klausmeyer in her annual budget message. This investment will help create a modern, welcoming space that expands access to resources, programs and opportunity for the Essex community.

Want to learn more and take the next step? Visit the Foundation’s Advocacy page for details on how you can get involved. And if you believe in the power of libraries, consider making a gift to support their future. Together, we can ensure everyone has the chance to Find Your Joy at the Library.

Today is National Library Outreach Day, a celebration of all the ways libraries go beyond their walls to meet people where they are.

Through the support of the Foundation and donors like you, Baltimore County Public Library is expanding access across our community. The STREAM vehicle brings science, technology, reading, engineering, arts and math directly to children and teens, sparking curiosity and creativity in neighborhoods across the county. The Mobile Library Support Center delivers resources and vital services to under-served communities—ensuring that access to learning and opportunity doesn’t depend on location.

This is what it means to Find Your Joy at the Library—bringing connection, discovery and possibility to everyone, everywhere. Help us keep the wheels of innovation turning—make a gift today and ensure we can keep reaching every corner of our community.
