Giving Tuesday: Speech & Debate Programs

#GivingTuesday is on December 1st! We want you to donate money to the Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends a week from Tuesday.

In the days leading up to December 1st, we’re going to highlight a number of the other programs and items that your donations buy for the library.

Your donations make great programs like this possible. Please donate on December 1st. If you donate more than $150 that day, your name will be entered into a drawing for a football from the 49ers signed by Reggie Bush.
