The Alameda County Library Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in our communities by supporting and strengthening the Alameda County Library system.
Since our founding, we have worked to ensure that our libraries remain vibrant centers of learning, culture, and community engagement, accessible to all residents regardless of age, background, or economic status.
A community where libraries are thriving hubs of opportunity, empowering every individual through access to knowledge, technology, and cultural experiences.
Established to bridge the gap between public funding and the evolving needs of our communities, we have been a vital partner to the Alameda County Library system for over three decades.
