What does it mean to be an Advocacy Circle Donor?

As an Advocacy Circle Donor, you are more than a supporter — you are a voice for equity, education, and access. Your gift helps raise awareness of the vital role libraries play in community well-being and directly supports literacy programs across Monterey County. You ensure that free, trusted spaces for learning, connection, and opportunity continue to thrive — in every town, every neighborhood, for every generation.

Advocacy Circle Donors are encouraged to give by check. This avoids online payment fees for large Donations. If you prefer to give online, please click the button below and consider adding 3.5% to cover the payment fees.
