We are eternally grateful and excited to have worked on such a meaningful project alongside the exceptional, lively and creative leaders of the Library Foundation. Together, we were able to positively impact the library system that serves us all so well.
Watch the Show!
The free event celebrated all the ways our public libraries have helped our community over the past year and featured an engaging interview between author Susan Orlean and our community's own Charlie Huisking discussing Orlean’s “The Library Book.”

Join the movement to help Sarasota become more equitable and sustainable.
Our friends at UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County are looking for volunteers to help teach low-income residents how to save energy, water and money at home! As an "Energy Coach" you have the opportunity to educate underserved populations on the social, environmental and economic benefits of sustainability while using you skills to further our community's movement toward a greener future.
If you're interested in becoming an Energy Coach, register for the upcoming UF/IFAS information session, which includes training on home energy systems, energy and water saving techniques and more.
