Our Foundation Board

Purpose and Mission

The purpose of the Eastern Shore Public Library Foundation is to ensure the long-term financial stability of the Eastern Shore Public Library by securing private financial support and grants for capital needs and endowments

Our board consists of dedicated Shore residents and repeat visitors who bring their talents and lifetimes of experience in business, government, non-profit management and volunteering. Some directors have held office since the beginning, while others are new additions. We all share a passion for public libraries and for the Eastern Shore. We are always seeking new directors and volunteers to help with our events. Please call our office at 757-787-2500 for more information.
