San Jose Public Library Foundation

Message from the Board Chair

Welcome to the San José Public Library Foundation website. Thank you for caring about our libraries in San José and your interest in the San José Public Library Foundation. The purpose of the San José Public Foundation is to provide advocacy, financial support, and innovative leadership to transform San José Public Libraries into vibrant learning centers.

You are our partners in this effort. We all share a commitment to maintain the San José public library system for our growing and diverse community. We are now at the end of a very ambitious campaign to support the opening of 20 branches funded by the bond initiative in 2000. As this campaign winds to a close, our focus changes from funding  branches to funding programs in these branches-welcoming and serving even more residents in our fabulous libraries.

We invite you to partner with us to assure the future of our libraries. Our success benefits everyone in our San José. We look forward to the future, hand in hand, working together.

Pat Wolfe

Chair, Board of Directors
