Library News:
    Great news! The library is reopening more every month. It is now open Tuesday – Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00 pm. Sidewalk Service has expanded to Tuesday – Saturday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Patrons can now stay up to 25 minutes inside, browsing books and of course our book sale!
     All book sales must be paid in cash or by check. The staff is not yet able to take your payments. Please insert money into the grey cash boxes on the walls in the lobby. You can give checks (payable to FGVL) to the staff at the Circulation Desk.
      Thanks to your generosity and strong involvement in education, we are sponsoring the Summer Reading Program and were able to increase our yearly donation to the library. Our young readers are avid readers! The Friends are donating additional funding to the book and material acquisitions budget. We are sponsoring all performances, still online this year.

Become a Friend, renew your membership for 2021,
give a membership in a friend's name or as a memorial.
Please consider adding to your yearly donation in support of the library collections and programs
so it can better serve our community in these troubled times.

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 are we funding in 2021?

• All Children's programs: performances, activity kits for families, online performances, new books for the collections.
  
• An increase to the budget for the library's online platforms such as Libby, Hoopla, and more. Their costs are based on demand, which has considerably increased because of the pandemic confinement.
  
• A large supplement to the book and materials budget to compensate for the temporary ban on transferring books from one library to another.
  
• and more, according to our librarians' needs.

Thank you for your generosity!
