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 do we fund?

  • Our goal this year is to sponsor major renovations to the Children's section of the library: replacing the awning over the patio, purchasing new furniture for outside programs for kids, improving the landscape in that area, and more.
  • We sponsor all Children's programs: performances, activity kits for families, online performances, new books for the collections.
  • We increase the budget for the library's online platforms such as Libby, Hoopla, and more. These costs are based on demand, which has considerably increased because of the pandemic confinement.
  • We also supplement the book and materials budget to compensate for the temporary ban on transferring books from one library to another.
  • and more, in keeping with the needs of our library.
Thank you for your generosity!
