We support, educate and advocate for strong public libraries in Sarasota County.
Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who gave during the 2024 Giving Challenge. Together, we raised $50,850 to support Sarasota County public libraries.
Every day, more than 5,000 people use the services of Sarasota County libraries. And every day the Library Foundation works to support, educate and advocate for our public libraries, helping to ensure this vital community resource remains strong, current and accessible to all. We couldn't do it without you!
Special thanks to Cat Depot for partnering with us for this yearโs Giving Challenge!

Libraries need our help.
Libraries are essential to Sarasota County. As new technologies expand and offer us faster, cheaper and more accessible ways to read and learn, our Sarasota County Libraries are more important than ever.
Community Partners
These are the people and organizations that support us, our libraries and everyone in them. We are incredibly thankful for their generous support over the years. Without them, the world of Sarasota County libraries may look quite different.
Help us support, educate and advocate for strong Sarasota County public libraries.
Friends of the Library
At the Foundation, weโve established close bonds with the various Friends of the Library organizations. While the Friends are dedicated to supporting individual libraries, the Foundation is designed to address system-wide needs.
