| The library has two arms for charitable giving, the Friends of the Waukegan Public Library and the Waukegan Public Library Foundation a 501 (c) (3). Although both groups exist solely to support the library, each has a unique mission and opportunities for getting involved. The Friends of the Waukegan Public Library The Friends are a not-for-profit, voluntary organization
whose primary focus is to raise money through used book sales through
the Friends Bookstore located on the lower level of the library. Joining
the Friends is also a great way to get involved with the library
and the community of Waukegan. The Waukegan Public Library Foundation 501 (c) (3) The purposes of the Foundation, as stated in the Articles of Incorporation, "...include the development of programs to: focus public attention on library services, facilities and needs in the Waukegan area; stimulate and encourage the gifts of funds, books, desirable collections, endowments and bequests to the library; and receive, hold, manage, use and dispose of funds and properties of all kinds, whether given absolutely or in trust, for the benefit of Waukegan Public Library. The Foundation is governed by a seven member Board of Directors, appointed by the Board of Trustees of the Waukegan Public Library.
