What Matters Most to You?

National Library Week is April 7-13, and we hope you'll help us celebrate this month by telling us about YOUR interests! Please take a moment to answer two questions. 

A Gift from Our Community & Our Library Foundation 

Just in! More than $100,000 from the SLO County Library Foundation's legacy funds will give you even more books, movies, and digital content.


The funds also help expand our Library by Mail program and our exciting all-ages Summer Reading program.


A big thank you to our donors and our volunteer-based Foundation!
