What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

As sparkpoints of community cohesion and engagement, public libraries promote belonging and equity. They ignite imagination, innovation, and inspiration by bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds, inviting conversation, inspiring connection, enhancing skills, and nurturing social bonds. Yet, Contra Costa’s libraries are not resourced adequately or equitably. Like our parks and public schools, our libraries reflect the entrenched inequities and historical divestments that have shaped our contemporary civic landscape. The Library Foundation of Contra Costa is a direct response to the Contra Costa County Library’s overall need for more robust funding and to the resource and opportunity gaps amongst its 26 branches. To address these disparities, the Library Foundation of Contra Costa will raise funds to expand and support new Library services, programs, and facilities, and provide additional opportunities and access to those with the fewest resources.
