The Walnut Creek Library Foundation's mission is to enrich the experience at the Walnut Creek libraries. We do this through programming, fundraising, and advocacy. Since 1998, we've raised more than $10.5 million for new and improved library facilities, collections, programs, and services for both the Walnut Creek and Ygnacio Valley libraries. Your donations keep our libraries growing! | |
