Our agenda is different for each meeting. Some examples of topics we discuss can be seen in our meeting notes below. Currently we are interested in getting updates on the progress of our major project: installing solar panels on the library roof. We often make decisions about how to use some of the funds we have earned at our bookstore in the mall to enhance the Capitola Library and the Santa Cruz Public Libraries in general.
Don’t miss these opportunities to get involved in our fine new library. Bring your ideas to the Cap Friends’ meetings.
