Spreading Holiday Cheer Through Community, Celebration & Giving
Every December, the Marion County Public Library System Foundation brings our community together to celebrate the season through joy, learning, and generosity. Our foundation’s signature event, the Marion Holiday Book & Toy Drive, invites residents and visitors alike to share the magic of reading and giving—donate new books and toys to brighten the holidays for local children and families in need. Join us in turning holiday spirit into a season of kindness and connection.
👉 Next Event: December 12–13, 2025
🎁 Goal: Collect 750+ books and toys to support families across Marion County.
Our Mission
The Marion County Public Library System Foundation Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching our community through literacy, lifelong learning, and local partnerships. What began as a simple effort to expand access to books and educational resources has grown into a cherished community tradition that inspires reading, creativity, and generosity throughout Marion County.
Why We Do It
We believe that knowledge, community, and compassion go hand in hand. By blending celebration with service, we strengthen the bonds that connect us and create opportunities for everyone to learn and grow. Through our annual Holiday Book & Toy Drive and year-round programs, the Marion County Public Library System Foundation supports families, promotes literacy, and spreads the joy of giving across our community.
