The Taylor Moxey Foundation

The ‘Taylor Moxey Foundation’ was created to empower literacy for children and families worldwide through local sustainable libraries, education, and arts programs. To fulfill this mission the ‘Taylor Moxey Foundation’ utilized Taylor’s love of reading to create a safe space for our future leaders to imagine, discover and create. This initiative was brought to life with the ‘Taylor Moxey Library’ project.
The ‘Taylor Moxey Library’ project has inspired the imaginations of both children and adults. Constructed of pod-style buildings created from repurposed shipping containers Taylor Moxey libraries are the perfect space to learn and discover.
With the groundbreaking success of three library locations — one in the village of Moxey Town, Andros, Bahamas, one in Omni Park, Downtown Miami, Florida, one in the West Palm Beach Arts and Entertainment District and a satellite library made possible with the Taylor Moxey Foundation’s partnership with Hawthorn Suites hotels in Wyndham in West Palm Beach, FL. — the ‘Taylor Moxey Library’ project continues to educate the youth through the power of reading.
In addition to opening libraries, the ‘Taylor Moxey Foundation’ had the opportunity to join efforts with TECHO to build homes in communities of extreme poverty in Latin America and Haiti. In an effort to advocate volunteers for TECHO; Taylor used her platform as a public speaker to encourage her peers to become youth volunteers.
As the ‘Taylor Moxey Foundation’ continues to make strides to accomplish the mission to empower, educate and endow the youth; success is limitless for Taylor and her foundation.

Twelve-year-old philanthropist and entrepreneur Taylor Moxey will open her third mini-library on November 27 at a new outdoor activity space called "Dance into the Sunset," located at 600 4th Street in West Palm Beach. Housed in a converted and refurbished shipping container, the new public library includes a range of reading materials for all ages to enjoy seven days a week, from dawn to dusk. The pop-up library is a partnership between the Taylor Moxey Foundation, City of West Palm Beach, West Palm Beach Arts & Entertainment District and the West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency.
MIAMI, FLORIDA
“After hearing about my library in the Bahamas, I got a call from the people at Omni Park. They wanted me to build a mini-library in their pop-up park adjacent to I-395. Again, I asked for a shipping container, got an artist to paint it, and collected donated books. Today, anyone can go, sit and read in the middle of Downtown Miami park. I learned from my parents that philanthropy is about seeing a problem and finding the resources to fix it.”

ANDROS, BAHAMAS
Taylor Moxey’s first library, the Taylor Moxey Library, was built in 2015 from a small lawn trailer and is in Andros, Bahamas. She got the idea after spending a summer there with her parents and realizing there wasn’t a library for kids. The learning space is the first of its kind and is still being used as an after-school location to spark the curiosity of young minds. It is extremely kid friendly and inviting.
