Friends of the Palo Alto Library

Make a monetary donation

Dear Supporters of Friends of the Palo Alto Library,

In order to ensure the Library’s ongoing ability to enhance its lending collection and to offer all the wonderful programs and events that enrich our community, FOPAL’s annual grants to the Library are essential, and even more so in this time of fiscal uncertainty.

The only way you can donate to the Library is through a gift to the Friends of the Palo Alto Library. Please help us maintain the successful partnership between the local community and the library with a tax-deductible gift. Thank you for your support!


If your employer has a matching gift program, please know that as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization we are generally eligible for such matching gifts.
