Arlington Libraries Foundation
About
The Arlington Libraries Foundation is a nonprofit that raises money for Arlington’s public libraries, the Robbins Library and the Fox Branch Library. It works to bridge the gap between the libraries’ assets and their aspirations, helping fund current programs and launch new initiatives in order to maintain a world-class library. The foundation describes the libraries as more than places to find books: they are windows into adventure, innovation, creativity, community and opportunity.
Its stated mission is to help open the doors to all who are curious, create an inclusive space for the Arlington community and secure the libraries’ future as the cornerstone of the community for generations. The foundation focuses on enhancing library facilities, services, collections and programs, and it aims to ensure that the libraries’ virtual and physical resources grow along with the town.
