The Sausalito Library Foundation ensures the sustained excellence of the Sausalito Public Library by securing a permanent revenue source to enhance the Library’s programs, materials and environment.

Governed by a 10-member Board of Directors and supported by an 8-member Advisory Council, the Foundation is organized as a public charitable organization, entitled to receive fully tax-deductible contributions. The Foundation fund has been built by contributions from individual donors and community grants. Thanks to careful investment strategies and the generosity of our donors, this fund has grown each year. Please lend your support! 

Foundation Projects

Sausalito Newspapers

In 2016, the Foundation completed a seven-year project to digitize Sausalito newspapers back to 1885. The collection covers The Sausalito News from 1885 to 1966 and the Sausalito Marin Scope from 1971 to the present. The Marin Scope collection will be added to on an annual basis.

Library Remodel

In 2012 and 2013, the Foundation matched funds with the Library’s capital improvements fund to optimize existing library space, expand its electronic capability, provide more usable space for children, and accommodate the increased traffic in our small, but comfortable facility.
