Support the South Burlington Public Library!
The South Burlington Library Foundation, established in 2018, is an all-volunteer run non-profit organization. Our mission is to raise, manage, and grow funds to support the South Burlington Public Library.
South Burlington residents long dreamed of a new library. When the city’s Tax Increment Finance district was formed in 2016, the possibility of creating a large, modern library became a reality. A bond issue passed in November 2018, funded the construction of the 180 Market Street building which opened officially July 23, 2021 and is the home of the new South Burlington Public Library.
Our library is extraordinary - join us in ongoing support!

"Public libraries are crucial centers of community activity, places where people from diverse backgrounds and with varied interests connect; public libraries are America at its best."
