The Cumberland County Library System Foundation exists to support the programs, services, and innovative initiatives of the Cumberland County Library System and its eight public library locations. Key programs supported by the Library Foundation include the Summer Reading Program, School-Year STEM, and STAR - Service to (Homebound) Adult Readers. The Summer Reading Programs is a series of free events and activities offered several times a week between June and August at all eight locations. Summer Reading Program activities are designed to foster a love of reading and to develop or refine reading, writing, and learning skills. School-Year STEM programs are offered during afterschool and evenings to provide opportunites for group communication and scientific discovery. Finally, STAR partners trained volunteers with homebound, mostly senior adult readers to provide companionship and reading materails. STAR also maintains self-serve mini-libraries at two dozen assisted living facilities.
