Annual Back Patio Sponsor

A unique opportunity to promote your local business at the Scotts Valley Library, the sponsorship is recognized by a large sign (36" x15"), prominently positioned opposite the library, in the patio flowerbed.  The sponsorship is valid for a year and allows a business to promote their business name, logo and web site address. Participation in the program will also be permanently recognized on a 'past sponsor plaque'. The annual sponsorship is designed to cover the annual upkeep and maintenance of the patio. The opportunity is open to one company/organization per year. Contact the Friends if you want to be the annual sponsor or want more information.

The Giving Tree

If  you would like to have your name displayed on the Giving Tree, situated by the Librarian's desk in the Library, simply make a donation of $1000 or more to the Scotts Valley Library.  The Giving Tree is recognition of all those who generously donate to our library.
