DAYTON METRO Impact FOUNDATION · 2020. 8. 17. · Atrium. A special wall unveiling, to share the story of the Foundation and the good work of Dayton Metro Library was hosted on September

Babies are born ready to learn, but many parents may not know how to take advantage of this critical developmental period. In 2017, the DML Foundation supported the purchase of LOVE THEM OUT LOUD kits, early literacy materials gifted to caregivers in low-opportunity communities. The program is so popular that DML expanded to a toddler kit in 2018, and with additional private support, is plannning to launch a Pre-K kit to further support kindergarten preparedness.

“Love Them Out Loud helps parents boost their baby’s brain development and ability to learn language in fun and bonding ways,” says Kathleen Moore, Early Literacy Specialist for the Library. “It’s the gift of early literacy.”

TEAM 17:

Rarely does a community witness a comprehensive library facilities overhaul like the one happening now at Dayton Metro Library. Honoring our past while celebrating the future, the DML Foundation introduced The 1888 Society, named after the year when the first library building opened in Cooper Park in downtown Dayton.

As a special “thank you” to those who made donations by December 31, 2017, nameplates honoring the Founding Members of The 1888 Society were incorporated into the new design of the Main Library’s Atrium. A special wall unveiling, to share the story of the Foundation and the good work of Dayton Metro Library was hosted on September 27, 2017.

The Main Event was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The DML Foundation hosted this sold-out event to pull back the curtain on the Main Library and provide a first-peek at how the Library has changed. On April 22, 2017, 1,400 guests explored the (still under-construction) building, while they enjoyed great food, drinks, entertainment and fun. People are still buzzing about their favorite part, but the three story toast around the grand staircase is a moment that all will remember.

Inclusion is a priority of the Library and the Foundation, and The Main Event was truly a community effort. With generous “Be Our Guest” sponsors, patrons from all Branches of the Library system were invited to attend. The talented artists of ReImagining Works donated pieces to the silent auction. Skilled chefs (and students) from top restaurants and culinary programs offered creative food selections. And – spirited students from DECA offered their arms to help patrons up the grand staircase.

Thank you to all who made it possible, including SPONSORS, DML STAFF, FOUNDATION DIRECTORS and the all-volunteer TEAM 17 who programmed and planned The Main Event.

The Jack W. and Sally D. Eichelberger Foundation and the addition of the Dayton Foundation helped transition the Main Library’s Forum into an asset for arts and community engagement.
