Become a Donor!
All library services are free for everyone. We need the support of the entire community for the library to continue to upgrade and innovate. You can help to ensure that our library continues to excel. Your individual financial support – at whatever level – helps provide literacy resources and makes the library a warm, welcoming, and safe place.
A donation of:
-
- $5,000 could help the library put on Comic Con, a celebration of graphic novels and more non-traditional types of reading;
- $2,500 could enhance the concerts and events that are a part of Summer Adventure, to keep literacy skills up over the summer school break;
- $1,500 could fund three months of classes and events for children and teens, to support formal learning and help students socialize;
- $500 helps buy supplies for a season of adult programs to provide a community space for everyone;
- $100 could provide part of the funds to support ESL Conversation and Book Clubs, to provide space for ESL learners to connect and improve their English skills.
Help us keep this momentum going in 2025 and beyond by making a one-time or recurring donation to support our work. Every dollar you give is an investment in the Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends and literacy and a love of learning in Silicon Valley!
Thank you for your thoughtful giving and everything you do to support your Library!
Warm regards,
JoAnn Davis
