Friends of the Truckee Library announced today that the community has successfully met the fundraising requirements of the Truckee Tahoe Airport District’s (TTAD) matching opportunity, securing the District’s $2 million commitment in support of the project directly related to the public purpose of the airport.</p><p>Announced in June 2026, the matching opportunity challenged the community to come together in support of the project. Thanks to the generosity of local residents and philanthropic partners, the match was fulfilled more than two months ahead of its December 31 deadline.</p><p>“This milestone is about so much more than reaching a fundraising goal,” said April Cole, Executive Director of Friends of the Truckee Library. “It reflects how deeply our community believes in the importance of a new library. We are incredibly grateful to the Truckee Tahoe Airport District for its leadership and to everyone who stepped forward to help make this possible.”</p><p>The achievement builds on strong public support for the project. In November 2025, more than 72% of Truckee voters approved Measure G, providing public funding expected to cover approximately half the cost of the new library. Together, that voter commitment and the success of the TTAD matching opportunity reflect the broad community investment behind the project.</p><h2>A New Library Designed for Truckee’s Future</h2><p>Planned for a site adjacent to Truckee River Regional Park, the new Truckee Regional Library will offer expanded children’s areas, a dedicated teen space, and a multipurpose community room. The library will also support STEM education, workforce development programming, and lifelong learning, creating more opportunities for residents to learn and connect.</p><p>The building is being designed with Truckee’s unique environmental challenges in mind. Permanent backup power and HVAC systems will help support the library’s role as a community Emergency Resource Center during power outages and wildfire smoke events, providing a more resilient public space when residents need it most.</p><p>TTAD’s $2 million commitment reflects the District’s recognition of the library’s broad public benefit and its role in strengthening the long-term resilience and vitality of the Truckee/Tahoe region. The District’s support aligns with its public purpose and commitment to investments that benefit the community it serves.</p><h2>Building Momentum Toward Construction</h2><p>With construction targeted to begin in 2027, the LibraryUP campaign continues to build momentum toward making the new Truckee Regional Library a reality. Meeting the TTAD match represents an important step forward, and additional philanthropic support will help bring the project closer to groundbreaking.</p><p>“We’re getting closer to making this new library a reality, and there’s still important work ahead,” said Cole. “The support we’ve seen so far gives us tremendous confidence in what’s possible. Together, we’re creating a library that is designed and built to serve everyone in our community.”</p><p>Friends of the Truckee Library invites residents, businesses, and community partners to build on this momentum and help make the new library a reality.</p><p>The match has been met, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference continues.</p><p>To learn more about the new Truckee Regional Library and support the LibraryUP campaign, visit http://www.truckeefol.org.</p></div></body>
