Gail Borden Public Library Foundation<br />
The Library Foundation was the rocket that propelled the<br />
South Elgin Branch. The Hoffer Foundation made a significant<br />
donation to the Gail Borden Public Library Foundation that<br />
enabled the new branch library to move forward. Additional<br />
donations and impact fees from South Elgin combined to<br />
assist this wonderful new library location to become a reality<br />
for South Elgin. Foundation proceeds also assisted with<br />
Summer Reading prizes and the Discover Space Exhibit. The<br />
Gail’s Sales and the <strong>Annual</strong> Book Sale are also significant<br />
contributors to the enhancements that make Gail Borden a<br />
part of this wonderful intergalactic community.<br />

Mission Social Media<br />
Fiscal Year <strong>2015</strong> – <strong>2016</strong> saw a significant increase in the use of social media to get<br />
the Library’s message out to the community and to engage users. Establishing a<br />
social media swat team composed of representatives from different departments<br />
and establishing a social media specialist have helped bring the Library’s messages<br />
to the public in real time.<br />
