History of the OPL Foundation
The Omaha Public Library Foundation was founded in 1985 to raise private funds to computerize the library's card catalog and circulation systems.

• Completion of this initial $1 million drive allowed the Omaha Public Library to install its Dynix system and join the automated libraries of the '90s.

Meeting Many Library Needs
The Omaha Public Library Foundation gives donors an opportunity to:

• support the library system or individual branches

• special collections or specific services of their choice
  
  The users of the Omaha Public Library will never run out of needs - and the Foundation will work with donors to help meet those needs.

Bequests, memorials and gifts in honor of birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions are especially encouraged along with support of foundation projects and fundraising events. The Foundation will assist donors interested in long-term planned gifts to its endowment.
