WISH LISTS

The Santa Cruz Public Libraries' would like to add many more books to their inventory, but their book budget has been cut by more than half this year. You can support local libraries by purchasing books on their wish list for their collection!
The Santa Cruz Public Libraries' complete wish list is available at our information desk. Simply select a book from the list (or choose one of your own), pay for it at our register, and leave it with our bookseller. We will make sure it gets to the library. If you want to make purchases online, just choose the "pick up in store" method of shipping and then during checkout there will be an opportunity for you to list special instructions (just after payment method), please enter Library Wish List Donation.

Thank you for supporting local libraries!
You can also purchase a Bookshop Santa Cruz gift card (in any amount) that will be given to the libraries so that they can buy the exact books they need.

I really hope this

I really hope this initiative will manage to revive the public libraries in the area but I don't think it's enough. The appetite for reading has become lower in the recent year, we live our lives in a continuous rush and we don't find the time for reading. I think this is where we should work more. Mario Gonzalez library director was a real eye opener for me on this concern.

Its a real shame the budget

Its a real shame the budget has been cut but we all need debt solutions and pulling back costs is inevitable.

The same librarians who

The same librarians who purchase books for the library select items for the wish list. Anyone is welcome to donate something off the list, with the understanding that if the item does not meet our needs, we will not necessarily put it on the shelf. That's why a wish list is helpful, since most donors would prefer their items to be shelved than to be sold at our book sale.
