A Message from the Executive Director
It is an honor to serve as the new Executive Director of the Bentonville Library Foundation and to help steward an organization with such a rich history and meaningful legacy.
For nearly 25 years, the Foundation has partnered with the city of Bentonville and the community to support and strengthen the Bentonville Public Library, ensuring it remains a place of access, learning, creativity, and connection for all. Generous donors, who deeply believe in the importance of a strong public library and its role in a thriving community, made the two previous campaigns possible.
Now that the new library expansion is complete and fully operating, the Foundation is shifting its focus to build a more dedicated and sustainable annual funding model — one that will provide meaningful annual gifts to the library. This ensures the Foundation’s ability to respond thoughtfully to both emerging needs and new opportunities.
This next chapter focuses on ensuring the library remains strong not just today, but for generations to come. I am excited to share my nearly 25 years of non-profit leadership and philanthropic experience as we make this important transition.
I am grateful to our donors, board members, volunteers, and partners who make this work possible, and I invite you to continue shaping the future of the Bentonville Library Foundation with us.
