Support the Friends of the Santa Rosa Libraries

Thank you for considering ways to support the Friends of the Santa Rosa Libraries! Your involvement is vital in helping us fulfill our mission of enhancing the resources and programs offered by the Santa Rosa libraries. Here are some meaningful ways you can contribute:

1. Become a Member:

Joining as a member is a fantastic way to show your commitment to the Santa Rosa libraries and gain access to exclusive benefits. Membership dues provide crucial support for our initiatives, including funding youth programs, acquiring new materials, and supporting library events. As a member, you’ll receive updates on our activities, invitations to special events, and the satisfaction of knowing you’re making a difference in your community.

2. Donate Books (& Other Items):

We gratefully accept donations of gently used books, CDs, DVDs, and other saleable items. Your donations help replenish our inventory for book sales, where proceeds directly benefit the libraries. We especially appreciate scholarly works, fine press editions, fine art pieces, and recently released titles. Donating your items is a simple yet impactful way to support literacy and promote the joy of reading throughout Santa Rosa.

3. Volunteer at Our Sales:

Volunteering at our book sales is a fun and rewarding way to support our cause while interacting with fellow book lovers. Whether you’re assisting customers, organizing merchandise, or helping with setup and cleanup, your time and energy make a significant difference. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to discover hidden literary treasures and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for books and community service.

4. Become a Regular Volunteer:

If you’re looking for a more sustained commitment, consider becoming a regular volunteer with the Friends of the Santa Rosa Libraries. Our volunteers play a crucial role in various aspects of our operations, from sorting donations to promoting our events in the community. By volunteering on a regular basis, you’ll forge lasting friendships, develop new skills, and make a tangible impact on the cultural landscape of Santa Rosa.

5. Sort Donations:

One of the essential tasks in our organization is sorting and categorizing donations to prepare them for sale. As a volunteer sorter, you’ll help ensure that each item finds its rightful place, maximizing its potential to generate revenue for the libraries. Whether you’re an avid reader with a keen eye for quality or someone who enjoys organizing and categorizing, sorting donations is a valuable way to contribute your time and expertise.

Your support, whether through membership, donations, volunteering, or sorting, is instrumental in helping us continue our work in supporting the Santa Rosa libraries. Together, we can foster a love of reading, lifelong learning, and community engagement for generations to come. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for your dedication to enriching the cultural fabric of Santa Rosa.
