Opportunities From: Volunteer McKinney

Do you value the McKinney Public Library? Do you live in McKinney? Are you over 18 years of age? Do you have a desire to serve our community by donating your time and talents to further the Library’s goals?

If you answered yes to these questions, we need you! The McKinney Public Library Foundation (a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization) is actively recruiting volunteers who can be called up to assist the Foundation at its events and/or outreach efforts. Please visit the Foundation’s website at:    https://www.mckinneytexas.org/3487/McKinney-Public-Library-Foundation

Currently our Board of Directors is full but we can always use more volunteer help. Please sign up to follow our Foundation!

The funds we raise go back to the library for programming, support, technology, and more, all for the McKinney community. The Foundation’s mission is to help raise funds for Library needs that cannot be met by the City’s Budget.  There are many opportunities on the horizon as the Library expands and increases its services.  We participate in MPL's annual Literary Fest by supporting new authors. In addition, the Foundation awards scholarships to high school seniors who have volunteered their time at the Library. Some events may be recurring.  Others will be individual opportunities to serve.

Duties might be as varied as setting up author luncheons, directional help at large events, break down of events, and some light labor preparing event sites.

Please share your passion for the McKinney Public Library by volunteering with the Foundation.  

Do you love McKinney Public Library? Do you live in McKinney? Are you over 18 years of age? Do you have marketing/finance/auditing/fundraising/leadership skills?

If you answered yes to these questions, we need you! We meet on the fourth Tuesday every month at 6:30 p.m. at John and Judy Gay Library. The McKinney Public Library Foundation is actively recruiting for new Board Directors! You will be joining a working Board who supports your library directly.  Please see the website about the MPL Foundation at: https://www.mckinneyplf.org/mplf-applications and at MPL about the Foundation at: https://www.mckinneytexas.org/3487/McKinney-Public-Library-Foundation

You will need to attend monthly meetings and also serve on at least two committees.

We attend many of the MPL's events to raise awareness of the Foundation and we had our first big fundraising event "Sunset in the Stacks" in April 2025 that was fun and successful. What we raise goes back to the library for programming, support, technology, and more, all for the McKinney community. We participate in MPL's annual Literary Fest by supporting new authors. MPLF loves our library staff and presents at their Staff Development Day. 

Show your love of the library and McKinney by serving as a Director on the McKinney Public Library Foundation Board!
