The Fayetteville Public Library (FPL) Foundation supports the Fayetteville Public Library in its mission to strengthen our community and empower our citizens through free and public access to knowledge.

With private support, the Fayetteville Public Library (FPL) Foundation can expand our collections, maintain cutting edge technology and enhance literary and humanities programming for children, teens and adults. The Foundation also works to promote a greater awareness of the library's valuable services. The FPL Foundation secures private support that provides the margin of excellence that creates a great library. Our vision is to be powerfully relevant and completely accessible. A group of citizens led by the University of Arkansas librarian Julia Vaulx established the Fayetteville Public Library in 1916. The library originally occupied two rooms of the Washington County Courthouse basement, and operated on a budget of $840.15 in its first year. The library employs approximately 40 full time equivalent staff members.
