In this time of crisis, the services our library provides to our community are more important than ever.
The Friends' financial contributions are essential to maintaining services.
Please renew your membership or add an extra donation. Your help is greatly appreciated.

The new parachute is a great success with our youngest patrons.

Who are The Friends?

    The Friends of the Goleta Valley Library is a non-profit 501(c)(3), volunteer organization. We raise funds through membership dues, donations, a permanent book sale in the lobby of the library, and special events such as the yearly Signed and Rare Books Silent Auction.

What will we fund in 2020?

• The replacement of three computers for preschoolers, which come loaded with educational materials for early childhood; we'll also replace used furniture in the kids' section;
  
• The sponsorship of all Children's Programs. It is essential to maintain our support to our young patrons. High levels of literacy are linked to high achievements in school, and later on in working life;
• And of the Summer Reading Program: more than 1,400 children and teens completed the program last year. The eight performances were attended by over 2,100 enthusiastic participants;
  
• Updates to the library facilities;
  
• Magazine and newspaper subscriptions:  the library magazines are NOT acquired through donations, we purchase subscriptions so our patrons get the latest issues;
• Supplies for Adult and Teen Programs;
• New bookshelves;
  
• and more...​
