Find Your Bliss at a Library Fundraiser
On Saturday, November 14, 10am-5pm, Bliss Salon, in Aptos (9051 Soquel Drive) will be doing hair, nails, and facials for a good cause. All services will be complimentary with a donation to the Friends of the Santa Cruz Public Library System, for the book and media fund. Call 831-662-1347 to arrange an appointment. There will be a limited number of walk-in services available as well. Refreshments will be served.
Ben Rush, the owner of Bliss, hopes that he and his staff can help make up some of the materials shortfall while providing a relaxing service and having fun. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the Santa Cruz City-County Library System for the materials fund.

Wish List Partnerships
The Santa Cruz Public Libraries (SCPL) is joining with local bookstores to put materials on library shelves and support local businesses. Library supporters can buy books, DVDs, CDs, or gift cards and the stores will donate them to the Library.
We need multiple copies of many items and Library staff has prepared wish lists of books and other materials that shoppers can purchase at a participating bookstore and their gifts will be sent to the Library. People can also donate to the Library's collection by purchasing a gift card at a favorite bookstore and Library staff will use the gift cards to buy needed books. See our Wish List page for more information.
Think Local First...and Support the Library! Thank You!
