The Lafayette Library and Learning Center Foundation applies for grants and awards on behalf of the library and in support of the programs we deliver. Many of the library’s most innovative and popular programming would not exist without the support of local, regional, and national organizations. Family, corporate and business, and private foundations give generously each year to support a variety of the Foundation's programs.  To find out more, please contact the LLLCF office at (925) 283-6513.
