The Mount Prospect Public Library Foundation (MPPLF) inspires growth and learning that enriches the community through culture and education. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, separate from the library, our primary purpose is to provide funding for special programs and projects otherwise unattainable with tax dollars.

Spring Raffle

The season of spring brings fresh opportunities to win as the Mount Prospect Public Library Foundation held its Spring Raffle, May 1-10. A specialty basket was on display at the Main Library, filled with an assortment of warm-weather treats, including tickets to Ravinia for the 2026 season.

Proceeds from the Fall Raffle benefit the Foundation, which raises funds for special programming and projects for the library that would not be attainable with tax dollars.

Look for the next raffle in fall!
