Thanks to a $10,000 grant from the Koski Family Foundation, the Library Foundation for Sarasota County has purchased two additional AWE Early Learning Stations for Sarasota libraries. These special computers contain dozens of educational computer programs suitable for children ages 2-10, helping them explore colors, letters, numbers while becoming familiar with the technology they’ll use once they start school.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the Library Foundation for Sarasota County has raised more than $8 million in private funds for the benefit of Sarasota County public libraries since its founding in 2011.
