Library Foundation

The Roselle Library Foundation was created to ensure that the Library is able to fulfill the needs of our growing community. The Foundation's objective is to enrich the excellent programs, services and facilities of the Library to meet the challenges of tomorrow. To this end, the Foundation solicits donations, grants, bequests of cash and property, and also seeks individuals willing to volunteer their time and services to the Library.

Library Foundation Meeting are posted on the Community Meetings Calendar.
