Program accomplishments

  • Renovation of the 50-year-old Modesto Library is primarily funded by public funds. Friends of the Modesto Library added a major fundraising campaign to its services in order to provide funding for enhancements to the library spaces beyond the public funding available for the basic renovation. Enhancements will include upgraded furnishings and technology. Our efforts will fund multiple enhancements for the children's library as well as meeting, teaching and study spaces.
    Expenses $500,000 · grants $500,000
  • Financial support was provided to the programs of the Modesto Library to encourage reading and promote literacy. Around 1700 hours of volunteer time added to our support of library programs. Funding and volunteer hours supported Maker Space supplies and equipment to provide STEAM activities. Books were given to children through programs including the Dia de Los Ninos event, the Juvenile Justice Center Book Club, the Imagination Library and the Summer Reading program. Volunteers of the Dewey Crew and Yarning with Friends provided regular volunteer service to support the work of library staff.
