Your Investment in Community Impact

The Santa Barbara Public Library Foundation has set a bold but achievable goal: raising $100,000 this year to protect essential library services threatened by federal funding cuts. These anticipated cuts will impact critical programs such as digital literacy classes, job training resources, and targeted one-to-one training for struggling readers of all ages.

Every dollar contributed helps fight our literacy crisis and provides more of our neighbors with the reading skills they need to participate fully in our community.
