About the Aurora Public Library and the Renovation Enrichment Project Campaign: 

In 2000, the Aurora Public Library Foundation was created to further the library’s vision of ‘Connecting people to community. Celebrating every story.’  

Through community partnerships, donors like you have helped fund numerous projects and helped keep our programming free for community members.  

Support for our Branch Renovation Enrichment Projects will serve the entire community, for years to come! Making a gift towards one of our Enrichment Projects will help us create a place of belonging at the Aurora Public Library.
