About Us

The Baxter County Public Library Foundation is composed of community volunteers dedicated to the governance and oversight of Foundation operations, investments, and donations. The Library Foundation manages several restricted funds, earnings from which supplement community support for Library programs, maintenance, information technology, staff support, and special programs.

Support from the Library Foundation is critical to sustaining Library programming and resources year after year. In 2019, the Baxter County Library Foundation provided almost 30% of the Library’s operating budget, greatly supplementing a one-mill county property tax enacted by voters in 1952.

The Library Foundation is an Arkansas not-for-profit corporation recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible charitable foundation founded in 1999 (EIN -73-1567052).

The Library Advisory Board is an extension of the Library Foundation. The Advisory Board members are volunteers who serve as community liaisons for the Foundation, sharing Library information with the public and providing valuable insight and feedback that helps to answer the ever-changing, information, recreation, and education needs of the people of our community.
