Friends of San Diego's Carmel Valley Branch Library

We’ve been asked to bring a Summer Reading Program (SRP) community fundraising challenge to your attention. The San Diego Public Library Foundation is partnering with Intuit which will make a donation of $10,000 to support our libraries if certain SRP goals (200,000 hours or 200,000 books) are met. We’re already one month into the SRP and sign-ups are currently behind schedule compared to previous years. The SRP is open to people of all ages adults as well as kids. To support San Diego Public Library register for the virtual 2020 Summer Reading program at https://www.sandiego.gov/public-/kidsandteens/summerreading.

Finally!! Maybe libraries will be able to accept returned books soon.

SUPPORT YOUR LIBRARY Amazon donates .5% of your purchase price to the charity you have pre-selected, when you start each order at smile.amazon.com. It costs you nothing! As you online shop in the coming weeks please shop through AmazonSmile and designate Friends of the San Diego Public Library as your partner charity.

While we normally welcome donations of books and media, due to current public health recommendations, we are temporarily not able to receive book donations.
