Anne Arundel County Public Library Foundation Inc

A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life raft and a festival. They are cathedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the imagination. On a cold, rainy island, they are the only sheltered public spaces where you are not a consumer, but a citizen, instead. -- Caitlin Moran, journalist and author

The Anne Arundel County Public Library Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was created in 2006 to secure private support for all 15 branches of the Anne Aruncel County Public Library system and increase awareness of its many services. In an era of shrinking government budgets, the Library Foundation is essential to enhancing public funding with private dollars so the library can fulfill its mission to educate, enrich and inspire. 

Our vision is to enhance lives through philanthropy.
