New Sponsorship Opportunity

Would you like to help Scotts Valley Friends of the Library complete the back patio project? The patio will open in the Spring, and we are currently raising money to buy patio furniture.


For just $50, you could buy a beautiful ceramic leaf. These custom, colorful ceramic leaves, hand-lettered and created by local artist Beth Gripenstraw, will make a lasting impression.  A perfect way to recognize any member of your family or a friend. The leaves will be installed as decorative art on the back patio fence.  Order forms are at the library, or downloaded it here.

There are a number of sponsorship opportunities available - check them all out on our fundraising page.  See you at the Library!
