All we need is you!

When our community "imagined a place," we envisioned more than the stunning building rapidly taking shape at the corner of Mt. Diablo and First Street. We saw a vibrant community gathering place and a library open longer each week (from 40 to 58 hours), including four week nights and all day Saturdays!

We're getting close! Step up now and help your friends and neighbors with your gift to Open Doors, Open Minds, a $4 million initiative to ensure we reach our shared goal - increased hours, an enriched collection and something-for-everyone programming. Over one-in-four generous households helped to make the construction a reality. Together, let's finish the job...and you hold the "key."
