We support the Santa Cruz Public Libraries through fundraising, volunteer services, and advocacy.
Support construction of the Downtown Branch Library in the heart of our county seat to give everyone access to a vibrant civic space. As the hub of the 10-branch library system, the new library is designed to grow with the needs of all of our children, teens, and adults by providing activity rooms, a toddler area, teen center, expanded children’s library with programming space, special collections (local history and genealogy), an array of working and meeting spaces, an atrium, and a roof deck.
Your support helps kick off the final phase of fundraising, and all gifts will be matched 100% by a generous grant from the Monterey Peninsula Foundation.
When I read that the libraries are a beacon of democracy, it didn't hit home until I started a job hunt. Library resources have provided me with a level playing field.
