Uplifting our Community Together
Through philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy, Teton County Library Foundation & Friends strengthens the Library as a place where learning, creativity, and connection can flourish.
Programs We Support
Teton County Library Foundation & Friends expands the Library’s impact by supporting programs rooted in four strategic priorities: literacy and life-long learning, inspiring creativity, strengthening community, and nurturing inclusive spaces.
Literacy & Lifelong Learning
From early literacy to adult enrichment, through programs and services such as Authors the Classroom, the Hoopla digital collection, and Summer Reading, TCLFF supports a library that inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and connects our community through education at every age.
Creativity
From art and music to cooking and poetry, through classes and resources, such as Creative Aging, the Library of Things, and the WonderLab makerspace, TCLFF helps bring creative programs to the Library that spark joy, curiosity, and a little everyday magic.
Community
From the Alta Book Swap to the Brainstorm Speaker Series, to Hispanic Heritage celebrations and the Library on the Go outreach van, TCLFF supports programs and services that connect people, spark conversation, and build a stronger, more inclusive community, one story at a time.
Spaces
From quiet corners to shared gathering spaces, through enhancements such as outdoor seating, Youth Wing furniture, Spanish-language collections, and device chargers, TCLFF helps support library spaces that that are welcoming, accessible, and responsive to community needs.
