Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

THE HUNTSVILLE-MADISON COUNTY LIBRARY FOUNDATION RAISES FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE BOOKS AND MEDIA COLLECTIONS OF EACH OF THE 10 HUNTSVILLE-MADISON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY LOCATIONS. WE ALSO FULLY FUND ONE PLATFORM FOR E-BOOKS, AUDIOBOOKS, AND MUSIC STREAMING. IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDE AN ANNUAL GRANT OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCATIONS AND DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE SYSTEM TO INSTITUTE NEW ACTIVITIES OR PROGRAMS THAT ARE COMMUNITY SPECIFIC. WE RAISE THE FUNDING THROUGH AN ANNUAL EVENT WELL KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY - VIVE LE LIVRE, WHICH IS A DINNER AND BOOK TALK BY AN OUTSTANDING AND WELL-KNOWN AUTHOR. WE ALSO HOST OTHER FREQUENT EVENTS THROUGH COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS THAT MAKE OUR EXISTENCE MORE WIDELY KNOWN AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CULTURAL EXPOSURE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. ANOTHER ROLE FOR THE FOUNDATION IS THAT OF ADVOCACY. WE PROVIDE INFORMATION TO OUR COMMUNITY AT LARGE AND OUR GOVERNMENTAL LEADERS ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE FISCAL NEEDS OF THE LIBRARY'S OPERATIONS. WE ALSO SEEK DIRECT FUNDING FROM THEM. WITH FY 2021 BEING OUR 35TH YEAR OF EXISTENCE, WE HAVE A SENSE OF PRIDE AND PURPOSE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LIBRARY.
