In 1993, the Fort Worth Library Foundation was established and ventured into a public private
partnership with the City. The sole purpose of the foundation is to benefit the Fort Worth Public Library
System. The foundation began its task by raising money to help finish out the Central Library shell.
However, the 1972 Master Plan was not adequate to work with the architect's interior design for the
new building. Thus, the Library Foundation made a gift to the City with a 1996-updated Master Plan.
fln August 23, 1994 (M8C G-10781), the City Council adopted a policy to improve the Fort Worth
Public Library System. The policy provided a plan for the completion of the expansion project at the
