Fall Friends Grants

Fall 2020 Friends Grants to The Santa Clara City Library from The Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends

We are super-excited to announce our Fall Friends Grants! These are monies that the Foundation & Friends gives to the library to spend on specific upcoming classes, events, and resources. Most of these programs are online or are set up to be online while the library is closed, and can also move to being in-person when the library eventually reopens.

The Library is doing some great online activities while the shutdown continues; keep an eye on the calendar for these to show up!
