Friends of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries support the Santa Cruz Public Libraries through fundraising, volunteer services, and advocacy.
Nine of our ten Santa Cruz Public Library Branches have been renovated or rebuilt since 2016. These critical improvements were possible thanks to support from your Measure S tax dollars and the Friends’ Realizing the Promise campaign.
We welcome you to join us in supporting our libraries.

When you attend library programs and events or utilize resources and services, you help our libraries thrive at the center of this vibrant and innovative community.
