Welcome to the website of the

Friends of the Santa Rosa Libraries

We help support Santa Rosa’s libraries—Central, History & Genealogy, Northwest, Rincon Valley, and Roseland. We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for traditional library materials, as well as magazine subscriptions, computer equipment, bookshelves, carpeting, furniture, and other needs that help the Santa Rosa libraries serve our community. We also support activities such as the Summer Reading Program, book groups, and the Adult Literacy Program. The primary source of our revenue is the sale of donated books, recordings, and related materials. We hold several events throughout the year.

As a homeschooling mom, the book sale is a gem! Diverse selection, budget-friendly prices. Plus, they back library events! Huge thanks to volunteers for making this possible.
