The Library Foundation was formed in November of 1985 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Members of the Foundation adopted by-laws in January of 1986. The Foundation has worked to raise funds to support the activities and needs of the Battle Creek Public Library. Donations are tax-deductible. Contact information is listed above.


The Foundation's current major project--remodeling the former United Methodist Church building--is completed. Our largest donations came from Lied Foundation Trust and the estate of Florence Michaelson, former Library Board and Foundation member. The Foundation paid $48,00 for the church after it closed. The final papers were signed on October 7, 2009, and remodeling began that day.On July 1, 2010, the Lied Battle Creek Public Library opened to the public.


The Foundation is still selling bricks for donors who want to memorialize their loved ones. The forms for purchasing bricks are also at the current library. They are $150 apiece. To date 52 bricks have been purchased for this project. The bricks will be displayed on the front face of the checkout desk at the front of the Library. There are spaces for 28 more bricks.
