Empowering Alexandria's
libraries for a thriving
community.
Impacts & Initiatives
The Alexandria Library Foundation leads and supports many projects and initiatives that ensure essential backing for our library, fostering a vibrant hub for education, imagination, and connection in our community.
Engaging
Programming
Funding programming like SummerQuest, our Foundation ensures the Library's ability to provide free access to enriching experiences. So everyone can have more chances for skill-building, creativity, and play.
​
In 2023, over 17,800 people attended SummerQuest programs, with 86% of surveyed attendees reporting reading more as a result!
​
Support imaginative and educational opportunities for all, today.
Impactful
Events
We sponsor and create events that celebrate and benefit our community. From the Alexandria Library Black Family Reunion to Paws in the Park, we're excited to support meaningful and diverse experiences in our City.
​
In its inaugural year (2023), the Black Family Reunion drew 400+ attendees and gathered approximately 3,000 photos and documents to help fill gaps in the city's documented history of Alexandria’s African American community.

Through murals, updated furnishings, and remodeling projects, our Foundation assists in creating and maintaining the inviting spaces that are such an important part of our Library. And that gives everyone a place to learn, connect, and simply enjoy spending time.
​
Help us continue to build an inclusive, welcoming space for all.
