Opening windows to a larger world.

Our Mission

We believe in the power of libraries to enrich and change lives. Every Monterey County resident deserves equal access to information, resources, and opportunities that open windows to a larger world.

The Foundation for Monterey County Free Libraries supports and strengthens the Monterey County Free Libraries system's mission by raising funds for programs, resources, and outreach that expand literacy, learning, and connection across our county.
