The Ringling College Library Association evolved from the original 214-member Friends of the Ringling Art Library in 1975 to the over 1,800-member organization it is today. The Association is able to successfully support the growing collections at the Alfred R. Goldstein Library through the commitment of our community members who are dedicated to seeing that one of the country’s most remarkable art libraries will continue telling its story for years to come.
