As a mother to two young children myself, I’d like to share what libraries have meant to me.
When my family first moved to San José three years ago with two children under the age of three, we didn’t know anyone. At home with the kids all day, I relied on our public libraries to keep us entertained and engaged in learning. We drove all over town checking out library events, attending storytimes, and borrowing books. Over time, I began to make friends and build community, finding the connection I desperately needed in a new town. It’s a chapter of our lives filled with special memories all thanks to the San José Public Library.
This Mother’s Day, as you honor a mom in your life, consider donating to the San José Public Library Foundation in her name. If we receive your gift of $25 or more by May 1, we will send a Mother’s Day card notifying her of your gift (within U.S. only).
On behalf of moms throughout San José, thank you for supporting our libraries. Your gift is making a difference. We thank you.
Sincerely,
Marly Young
