Everything starts with a strong Foundation


Saturday, October 23, 2021, 7:00pm-11:00pm.

The third annual (in-person) fundraising event was held at the Country Club of Detroit to celebrate the power of the Library to bring our community together.

This was the most successful fundraiser to date and will help support enhancements and expansion of the youth space at Central Branch.

We honored the memory of longtime GPPL supporter and GPLF board member, George R. McMullen, Jr. We know it was an evening he would have loved!

Thank you to our 2021 Sponsors
