Foundation Events

The LCPL Foundation sponsors many special events throughout the year. Some are unique, like author visits, while others recur annually, like the Literary Tea. The Foundation is also the primary sponsor for year-round initiatives like Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in LCPL's district. Check back regularly to see what's coming up next!
