Who We Are · Foundation Directors

The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County Foundation was incorporated in 2004 as a non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) organization.

A strong public library system is the foundation upon which a community can preserve the past, empower lives today, and build for the future.
