Campaign Team
The West Hollywood Library Fund is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit governed by a board of directors and volunteers. Formed in 2007, we united through a common passion for our West Hollywood community, and a dedication to improving the library as well as the surrounding space so that it will continue to enrich the lives of residents today and in the future.
Our Mission
The West Hollywood Library Fund seeks to improve the quality of life and opportunities for our community's diverse residents by enhancing their access to information, education programs, technology and each other. Our goal is to raise at least $10 million to ensure the margin of excellence and special features to make LibraryPark like no other, as well as funds to support the educational and cultural programming that will take place in the new library.
