Harford County Public Library Foundation is led by a 21-member board of directors, representing community and business leaders in Harford County. Through corporate sponsorships, individual giving, special events and grants, the foundation is able to support programs and initiatives such as new technology, early literacy, summer and winter reading programs, STREAM (STEM plus Reading and Art), Silver Reader, author discussions and more. The foundation’s signature fundraiser is its annual gala, An Evening in the Stacks (on November 4; this year's theme is La La Library), when the Abingdon Library is transformed for an evening of food, drinks, music and dancing.
