The Foundation was established in 1996 to receive donations to benefit the Tolland Public Library and to enhance library services beyond what the town budget provides.
The Foundation raises money for and provides grants to Tolland Public Library programs and materials to augment what is provided by town taxpayers.
The Foundation has provided funding to support "The Year of the Young Adult" in 2012, which has enabled more young people to re-discover this town treasure.
The funding was made possible thourhg the Phoebe Dimock King and Elizabeth C. King Eaton Endowment.
