At the end of this month, Isabel Norton will conclude four wonderful years as President of the Library Foundation’s Board of Directors. During her tenure, Isabel spearheaded a groundbreaking partnership with the Barancik Foundation to develop Creation Stations in each library branch, hired the foundation’s first full-time staff, celebrated the foundation’s 10th anniversary, and realized a long-standing goal to provide a pop-up library vehicle. Under Isabel’s leadership, the foundation secured more than $4.2 million in funding to support Sarasota’s public libraries.
As she prepares for a very well-deserved retirement, filled with great books and visits to her peaceful mountain cabin, we hope you’ll join us in thanking Isabel for the incredible job she has done making our libraries and our community better for everyone.
