Won't you help our Library community in Encino and Tarzana?
A library helps sustain a community and a civilization. Our Friends
of the Encino-Tarzana Library provides more sustenance through
donations, beyond what the City Budget can provide.
You may contribute in four ways (click for details):
-- By joining our Friends of the Library,
-- By making a tax-deductible contribution,
-- By buying used books/media in our Bookstore, and at
our book sales, or donating your gently-used books/media for us to sell, and/or
-- By volunteering your time.
We convert your contributions into donations of useful items that our
Library needs. You are welcome to donate -- whether or not you are
a Friends' member.
Here's what we've been able to donate to the Library - thanks to your
contributions:
2009: For most recent donations to the Library, including the new book trucks, see our What's New? page.
2008: See our Librarian's page. AND, see our List of donated DVD Documentaries. ALSO, every month Friends prepares a
current 2-month Encino-Tarzana Library Events Calendar as a handout -
culled from our website's Events list.
ALSO, thanks to the Rotary Club of Tarzana-Encino for its $4,000 donation of new audiobooks to the Library. A presentation
ceremony was held on January 12, 2008, at the Library.
AND, thanks to Trader Joe's Encino's for its donation of bottled water to
serve FOL guests and hard-working volunteers. |

2007: Friends did the following: Doubled its cash donation for
library books and materials at our Senior Librarian's request; focused
on supplemental children and teen programs.
Bought two large tables for the Library's meeting room
and a Media Display Cart for teen graphic novels. We gave additional
funds for an adult program, supplies including a large amount of DVD
security cases and inserts, and decorations to enhance the Library's
appearance year-round. |

2006: Friends gave the following: Considerable cash to supplement
the Library's limited budget for books and materials for children,
teens, and adults. Programming was a focus too -- for adults, teens, and children. Then, too, we
funded children and teen programs, and gave some refreshments for
YALDA - Iranian Family Celebration. Finally, we donated two
attractive paperback racks.

2005: Friends did the following: Donated a very large children's
DVD collection to replace vandalized videos. Also, we contributed
funds for Persian language books and the rental book collection.
Programming was a focus too -- for teens, and for children (including
arts and crafts supplies). We sponsored programs for adults and
children. Finally, we ordered some permanent signage and gave holiday
decorations.
