This has been a tremendous public/private partnership between the City of Palo Alto and the Palo Alto Library Foundation and the Friends of the Palo Alto Library. Read about the Foundation’s role at this History link.
In 2007-2008, the City of Palo Alto is gearing up to invest in the improvement of the Palo Alto City Library. And, as with the expansion of Children’s Library (completed in September 2007), the Palo Alto Library Foundation stands ready to partner with the City in this effort. Read more about the project to achieve Better Libraries for Palo Alto.
Mission Statement:
The Palo Alto Library Foundation spearheads major fund-raising campaigns to bridge the gap caused by shrinking municipal budgets and the growing needs of Palo Alto's aging libraries. Working in cooperation with other library-serving organizations, we ensure that Palo Alto has sufficient financial resources to create a vibrant, modern library system that serves the diverse needs of everyone in our city -- from young to old, and from North to South.
