Aptos Library Friends
Welcome!
The Aptos Library Friends, formed in October 2014, is a group of active volunteers who support the Aptos Branch of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries. Our work includes advocacy, fundraising to support library staff and programs, purchasing additional furniture and equipment, selecting art displays for the branch, programming, and events like Our Community Reads. We solicit recommendations from library staff, patrons, and the Aptos community.
