Broad-based public support is necessary to provide continued library resources and services for education, information, and enjoyment for Santa Rosa citizens. The Santa Rosa County Library System has a recently-formed Library Foundation which works with citizens and groups to raise funds. Consider a tax-deductible gift to your library, which may include cash, property, automobiles, stocks, bonds, and bequests. If you need information for contribution or estate planning, call 626- 0985 or contact a Foundation Board Member. Some other ways you can contribute to your library are:

Nominate your library as your community, school, or corporate organization's project for the year.

Honor a friend or relative's birthday with a book for the library.

Donate a book...or a whole shelf of books.

Write a check to your library's Friends group.

Give to the library through your company's matching program for charitable giving.

Watch for announcement regarding fundraising and other support activities.
