Bibliophiles

The Bibliophiles is an honorary organization that recognizes the generosity of individuals who, during their lifetimes, include the Library Foundation of Los Angeles in their estate plans.

A planned gift to the Library Foundation of Los Angeles, in your will or estate plan, helps support the Los Angeles Public Library and its efforts to create a more literate and informed community. Your gift will help provide resources for future generations of library users, and you may receive substantial financial benefits and tax savings.

Bibliophiles receive:

  • An invitation to an annual event honoring the Bibliophiles;
  • Invitations to Library Foundation special events;
  • A subscription to the Library Foundation eNewsletter;
  • Acknowledgement in the Library Foundation/Los Angeles Public Library Annual Report.
