Library Foundation
The Urbandale Public Library Foundation, Inc.
was created in 1988 to handle donations to further the growth of the
Urbandale Public Library. The Foundation was instrumental in raising almost a
million dollars for the 2000 Capital Campaign for the library’s new
building. There are many ways contributors may choose to give to the
foundation in support of the library. Library staff and foundation
board members are available to discuss with you and your advisors how
you may participate. Meetings are held quarterly on the fourth Monday
of the month in the conference room of the library at 6:30 P.M., 3520 86th Street.
