This election season, Question N includes almost $60 million dollars for our library system, including a brand new Essex Branch. Question N invests in the next chapter of libraries. Our library buildings average more than 55 years old. The way people use libraries has changed dramatically since many of these facilities were built. Question N includes funding for new branches with modern, flexible spaces to explore, learn, create and connect. Support Question N. Support the library.

Celebrate 250 years of the American story...and the next chapter waiting to be discovered.

Our Summer Collection features Baltimore County Public Library's B logo reimagined in honor of America's 250th anniversary, bursting with fireworks, pride and the spirit of exploration. Just as generations of Americans have looked toward new horizons, libraries continue to light the way with ideas, knowledge and opportunity for all.

Whether you're heading to a parade, a backyard barbecue or simply curling up with a great book, this exclusive design is a festive way to show your library pride. Celebrate freedom, curiosity and community all summer long with a design that honors the past while looking boldly toward the future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Arbutus Branch for A Founding Mother with author Stephanie Gray as part of our Maryland 250 programming!

Programs like this help bring history to life, inviting our community to explore the stories, people and events that shaped our nation and our state.

We're grateful to Baltimore Community Foundation for helping make this event—and all of our Maryland 250 programs—possible through a Legacy Forward grant. Their support is helping us engage, educate and inspire our community as we commemorate America's 250th anniversary.

Thank you, Baltimore Community Foundation for investing in lifelong learning and meaningful community conversations.

Help Us Keep the Story Going

If the library has made a difference in your life, will you help us finish our fiscal year strong?

Your support helps Baltimore County Public Library provide opportunities for learning, discovery and connection all year long. This summer alone, thousands of children and families will participate in the Summer Reading Challenge, enjoy free lunches at library branches, attend engaging programs and discover the joy of reading through initiatives like 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten.

And while we're celebrating summer, we're also looking ahead to an exciting fall. Your generosity helps make special experiences possible, including the Foundation-supported Booked for Baltimore County Public Library author series, which brings acclaimed authors and thought-provoking conversations to our community free of charge.

Every gift helps ensure that our 19 branches and mobile fleet can continue serving as welcoming spaces where people of all ages can explore, learn, create and connect.

As our fiscal year comes to a close, please consider making a donation to help us continue supporting the library's mission this summer and beyond.

Together, we can keep the story going. Show your support now: tinyurl.com/SupportBCPL
