Overview: In support of the Town's commitment to a vibrant and inclusive community and the Library's commitment to continually improving user experiences, the Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation has pledged a restricted gift of $150,000 to the Town. The Foundation's gift is made possible by contributions from the estate of Andrea Rohrbacher and the Cornelia Spencer Love Trust.
