We support, educate and advocate for strong public libraries in Sarasota County.
Every day, more than 5,000 Sarasota residents pass through the doors of our library system.
Our libraries are so much more than wonderful books and helpful librarians. They serve as community gathering places, social support centers, and innovation labs. They make educational resources accessible to every person in Sarasota County.

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.
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.
