About Us

The Glen Ellyn Library Foundation was established in 1998 to build an endowment that will ensure that future residents of Glen Ellyn enjoy high quality library service in an attractive, state-of-the-art facility. The public library is at the heart of the Village, serving residents of all ages, races, creeds and socioeconomic levels. The Foundation is an independent, non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization; governed by a volunteer board of directors made up of community members and non-voting representatives of the Friends of the Glen Ellyn Public Library, the Glen Ellyn Public Library Board of Trustees and the Glen Ellyn Public Library administration. The Foundation accepts both outright and deferred gifts of all sizes from anyone who wishes to support the library.
