About Us

Our Vision:
Power our Library.

Our Mission:
The Virginia Beach Library Foundation secures, manages, and invests privately raised funds, gifts, and bequests in support of Virginia Beach Public Library.

Our History:
Founded in 1982 as the Virginia Beach Library Endowment Foundation, the organization was established to generate private funding to supplement the City of Virginia Beach’s operating support for the public library. Over time, its mission and scope expanded beyond endowment stewardship, and it became the Virginia Beach Library Foundation—the official charitable arm of the Virginia Beach Public Library.
