Mission Statement Serving County residents since 1917, the mission of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries, California, is to provide materials and services which help community residents meet their personal, educational, cultural, and professional information needs. Our mandate is to provide free information services to all residents of Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, Capitola, and the County's unincorporated areas. We do this through a system of branch libraries stretching from La Selva Beach to Boulder Creek, via an Outreach Program serving those unable to get to a library, through telephone reference services, dial-up access to our computer catalog, and other electronic databases. Our collections are linked by an automation system which tells where any System book or other item is located and whether it is available for checkout.

The Garfield Park Branch of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries is dedicated to providing community teenagers "A Place of Their Own". Our focus is service and programming for teens. Homework help is a basic way to help teens achieve their full educational potential, and our library wants to help them. We can't do it alone, though!
Volunteer Duties We have 10 branches that span the county, all use volunteers in various capacities.
