Thank you for your support throughout the past twenty months. They have been difficult for everyone. However, our community of dedicated donors, book buyers, and especially our volunteers have made it possible for the Foundation and Friends to continue and serve the library throughout. Your continuing kindness and generosity assure us that there is an exciting future ahead!

You are the reason that the Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends makes a difference! Your individual financial support – at whatever level you can give – helps provide what the library needs as it expands its hours of operation and returns to offering in-person classes and events. Your giving will also inspire new City Librarian Patty Wong as she leads the library into a promising future of growth and greater community service.

Your donations will fund the Library’s literacy programs, support life-long learning, and make possible all of the wonderful classes and events the Santa Clara City Library is known for, from large events like Comic Con to ongoing programs like STEAM labs for elementary school students. Your support is crucial for the success of these and many other library classes, events, and resources!
The Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends can only support the library because of you. As we look forward to a brighter 2022, your help matters more than ever.
A donation of:
  • $2,000 will help bring ESL Book Club to life for an entire year, supporting literacy and developing community among vulnerable populations,
  • $1,000 can support a series of Job and Career Classes, helping to keep people employed and thriving,
  • $500 can support a Children’s Poetry Contest, helping students develop their writing skills and better express their emotions,
  • $250 will help provide one Hotspot with a Year of Service, ensuring that everyone can get online easily and quickly.
Your donation will also provide much-needed support for library classes, events, and additional resources as we move forward into 2022.
Any amount you give will help us support the Santa Clara City Library and our community. We graciously ask that you consider making the most generous donation that you can.
Thank you for your thoughtful and generous giving and everything you do to support the Santa Clara City Library!
Warm regards,
JoAnn Davis
