Become a Friend of the Scarsdale Library

Dear Scarsdale Neighbor,

Imagine the joy of a child discovering the magic of books for the first time, a teen exploring technology and new ideas, or a senior connecting with neighbors through an afternoon concert at the library. These moments happen every day at the Scarsdale Public Library, and they happen because of you.

We invite you to become a Friend of the Scarsdale Public Library today. Your tax-deductible contribution helps keep our library a vibrant hub of inspiration, learning, and connection for the entire community.

Becoming a Friend is one of the simplest and most meaningful ways to give back to Scarsdale:

$75 helps spark imagination through children’s programming and educational activities

$250 supports thought-provoking author talks and cultural events

$500 and above sustains beloved community traditions like the summer concert series and family programs

Public funding covers part of what it takes to make our library thrive. The Friends of the Scarsdale Library (FOSL), a volunteer-driven nonprofit, fills that gap, ensuring access to innovative programs, free museum passes, and enriching experiences for all.

In 2024 alone, the Friends made possible 15 author events, 30 children’s programs, and 665 museum pass reservations to some of New York’s most celebrated cultural institutions. Your support directly fuels this impact.

From book talks to outdoor concerts, new technology to creative workshops, our library connects us all as neighbors, families, and generations. Together, we can ensure it continues to grow as the heart of Scarsdale for years to come.

Thank you for your generosity and for believing in the power of community. Please consider becoming a friend of the library today!

With gratitude,
Daniela Retelny and Toby Milstein Schulman
Co-Presidents, Friends of the Scarsdale Library
