Gifts in Action

Since its inception, the Foundation has helped fund enhancements to the district’s already excellent tax-funded services.

Recent Foundation funds have assisted with the following:

• The expansion of the Middendorf-Kredell Library
• The expansion of the Kathryn Linnemann Library (Pictured below)
• Providing Early Literacy Kits to over 1000 families
• Author Programs 
• Special collection purchases
• Branch renovations
• Library Legends Recognition Event
• Legislative Breakfasts
• Collection Development

The Foundation's Annual Campaign will be focused on supporting the Every Child Ready to Read initiative and our Books to You program along with other new programs or initiatives that need support.

Jane Householder Scholarships

Additionally, the St. Charles City-County Library Foundation supports scholarship opportunities for library staff to expand their horizons and take enrichment classes that support lifelong learning.  This is done through funding in honor of Jane Householder.  Jane had a love of learning and would always bring her experiences in and share them with library patrons and staff.  It was something that she strongly believed everyone should do!  In honor of Jane, after her passing, the staff and her family thought this would be the best way to honor her.    Click here of pdf of the Application and Guidelines.
