DONATE TO FUND A NEED

Last year, enthusiastic Gala Fund A Need participation enabled the Library to purchase a Community Outreach Vehicle that will make its debut this Spring! Thank you to all our generous supporters.

This year, the Library will launch a ten-year space modification plan at all three branches. This Fund-a-Need will support upgrades to Main Library Children’s area and the circulation and research desks at the Marina and Hillsdale Branches. These modernization projects will improve the patron experience at all three San Mateo Public Libraries and are the first of nine major renovations the library has identified.

Help us meet our $50,000 Fund A Need goal and kick off construction of these highly anticipated and necessary upgrades this summer!
