Our Nonprofit

The Rutherford County Library Foundation, a 501c3 organization, whose goals are to enhance library services, be recognized as a venue for potential donors, maximize return on investments, and have a vehicle in place to aid in future capital projects, an example of which would be branch libraries in growth areas of our county.
