It bears constant repeating that SSJCPL as an organization and all that staff that work here are incredibly grateful for the amazing contributions made by the various Friends groups throughout San Joaquin County as well as to the continued financial support of the Library & Literacy Foundation for San Joaquin County.
These groups work hard to come up with ways to raise money and then so graciously offer those hard earned dollars right back to the library for a variety of purposes. A majority of the funds go toward the purchase of materials for our shelves, which end up in the hands of people of all ages.
Some of those funds also go toward our programming - the day to day book clubs and storytimes as well as the special programming such as Summer Reading and the One Book, One San Joaquin program that is taking place this month.

If you want to help these groups to support the library, it's easy! In addition to shopping your favorite national bookstores, stop by the local Friends of the Stockton Library bookstore in Stockton to check out their best sellers and new releases. Or, if you are outside of Stockton, when checking out books at a county SSJCPL branch, take a moment and peruse the in-library friends book sales! Ripon is well know for their book sales, as is Manteca and Linden! The money you spend puts a book in your hand and puts dollars in a fund that will eventually be used to purchase new materials for the library system.
As for the Library & Literacy Foundation, check them out, too!! They are doing all kinds of great things in San Joaquin County that help to promote literacy!
Thank you to our Friends and patners -- we do what we do better because of you!
