Friends of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries

Welcome Friends!

Thank you for stopping by our new Cyber Office!

There's a lot going on at the 10 Santa Cruz City-County Public Library branches (and bookmobile and Outreach Programs also!) and the Friends of the Library organization. We hope that this website will help you stay in touch, join FSCPL and participate in our Library System. Wander around, but please watch your step; we're still under construction and there could be loose building materials!

Membership applications are online or at the branches.

Help Purchase Books & Media by donating to the Book Fund Drive.

Donate online or at one of the "BFD" boxes at the branches.

Donate gently used books to be resold by the Friends in branch lobby sales and at the Friends’ store.

Due to limited staff, please bring your books & media to the Central branch for processing.
Sorry ... we do not accept encyclopedias (except some vintage sets), textbooks, homemade media (VHS, DVD, CDs or audio tapes), books that have been written in or have smoke or water damage, and magazines.

Donate special books to the Friends for selling online and at book auctions.

Our booksellers are retired librarians and bookstore owners. They know what is valuable and how to maximize our online sales. Call us for more details: 420-5790.
