About
Library Support: Every year, the Friends provide funding to the Santa Cruz Public Libraries for the purchase of new books and materials for their collections. Additionally, the Friends award grants that sponsor instructive, innovative and informative library programs and services that are free and open to everyone across Santa Cruz County, such as the Scotts Valley Branchs Makers Space program, STEAM programs at several branches, system-wide Summer Reading Programs, and the Munching with Mozart program at the Downtown Santa Cruz Branch.
