The New Braunfels Public Library Foundation raises money for major library capital improvements that are not covered by traditional municipal funding. The mission of the New Braunfels Public Library Foundation (NBPLF) is to secure private funding to meet the library's needs for program development and improvement of services and facilities that are not normally met by public funding. Ultimately, the goal of the New Braunfels Public Library Foundation is to support the mission of the foundation by providing the community with equal access to physical and virtual environments that inspire and encourage lifelong learning and enrichment.
