NEWS FROM THE LIBRARY FOUNDATION

A LETTER FROM REDWOOD CITY LIBRARY FOUNDATION
Do you know that for every dollar you invest in public library you can get FIVE back in programs, services, and collections?
It's simple, really, if you consider what the average U.S. household pays for library services (~$7.50/month) and put that next to Redwood City Public Library's offerings, the point is obvious. For under ten dollars you get thousands of books, music, movies, wholesome activities for kids, very expensive market research, and much more.
Is this an amazing deal? Of course, it is! Note, these are not abstract benefits like how libraries help build a stronger Democracy, or how they inspire creativity in people, a library's ROI is the institution's worth in cold hard cash. This doesn't just translate to value for the individual either, a well-funded library raises surrounding property values, helps develop an intelligent workforce (making Redwood City attractive for cutting-edge companies), and makes local social services more efficient.
Thank you for joining us in our mission to support the library. Please don't wait - make your gift today and get your investment to work!
