Our Great City

The Colleyville Public Library Foundation is a charitable organization formed specifically to raise funds for the Colleyville Public Library, its programs and projects.

The Foundation conducts an annual fall mail-in fund drive, has sponsored library “birthday” dinner parties, in 2007 inaugurated an annual “Race To Read” Run, and is currently conducting "The Big Piggy Bank Fill" campaign.

Since its inception the Foundation has raised nearly a half million ($500k) to benefit the library, its programs and projects.

While the Foundation has financed many of the library’s needs beyond the funds the city designates, its main objective has been to expand into the second floor. Proceeds from its Annual “Race To Read” 5k/1-Mile Run proceeds will go toward the reorganization and expansion of the library, specifically the 2nd floor children’s area and the 1st floor teen room.

In total, to supplement the city’s portion the Foundation will contribute nearly $200k to the buildout of the library.
