The Mountain Brook Library Foundation

The Mountain Brook Library Foundation (MBLF) was formed in 1993 to provide a future source of income for the O'Neal Library. The Mountain Brook Library Foundation Board was formed and, through the work of many dedicated volunteers, raised over $8 million in a public/private fundraising effort for the current library building.

The Mountain Brook Library Foundation is a tax exempt 501(c)3 organization. The most recent IRS form 990 for the Mountain Brook Library Foundation is now available for download. For any questions regarding the Mountain Brook Library Foundation, please contact Library Director Lindsy Gardner at (205) 445-1192 or lgardner@oneallibrary.org.


Donations

Funds are always needed, and all citizens interested in donating are urged to donate online below or contact Leah at (205) 445-1155 or lcommer@oneallibrary.org

Donations may also be made in memory or in celebration of a loved one.

All donors of $50 or more will receive an invitation to the Friends of O'Neal Libary Book Sale Preview Party in February of each year.
