SHARE YOUR LIBRARY STORY
The Redwood City Library Foundation (RCLF) and Redwood City Public Library (RCPL) are excited to launch our Share Your Library Story Campaign. Our goal is to collect and share stories from the community about how the library has had an impact in our lives. Did you benefit from one of the services or programs offered by RCPL? Did a specific collection make an impact on you? We would like to hear about it and much more! If you would like to share your library story, please use the following link: Share Your Story. Stories may be shared anonymously. We can't wait to hear your stories of how Redwood City Public Library makes a difference!
