The Friends support and enhance library services in many ways

Technology Endowment Fund 
Book Endowment Fund  
 
General Information - payment & mailing  
  

  

Contributions to the Technology Endowment Fund or Book Endowment Fund, ensure perpetual memorials whose income is dedicated to the purchase of high-quality books and materials not affordable through the library's regular budget.

Currently, the Friends' major fundraising effort is devoted to
the Technology Endowment Fund, established in 2007, while continuing to accept donations to the Book Endowment Fund established in 1983.



 

  
TECHNOLOGY ENDOWMENT FUND  (see General Information also)
        

One of fundraising efforts of the Friends of The South Pasadena Public Library
is the Technology Endowment Fund (TEF), established in 2007. The TEF was initiated in order to enhance the library's ability to pursue items and resources
of a technological or digital nature that were not covered through library's material budget nor the Book Endowment Fund. Now in its second year, the
TEF had a very successful first year drive with total donations of approximately $20,000.00, including a seed donation of $10,000.00 from the Friends. As the invested Fund monies grow over time, the available generated interest will enhance the library's ability to stay current with technology developments as
they occur and provide continued growth of the library's digital resources for the library community.

Envelopes for TEF donations may be found on the main floor of the library, by the checkout desk. You may mail contributions to:

 

Technology Endowment Fund
Friends of the South Pasadena Public Library
South Pasadena Public Library
1100 Oxley Street
South Pasadena CA 91030

TEF contributions are tax deductible. All contributors are recognized in the
Annual Report, so please let us know how you want to be acknowledged.
  
 

BOOK ENDOWMENT FUND  (see General Information also)

The longstanding Book Endowment Fund is the fund most familiar to Friends' members. Book plates identifying that a book was purchased through the auspices of the BEF can be found in many of the books currently in circulation at the library. Books considered for purchase through the BEF are not normally purchased through the library materials budget. Contributions to the BEF are placed into an interest-bearing account, and it is the interest generated from the account that funds the purchase of "special titles of long-lasting interest to the citizens of South Pasadena. . ." Although there has been no active BEF drive in the past two years, the BEF is alive and well, and those patrons who would like to are invited to make donations to the BEF.

Contributions can be made to: Friends of the South Pasadena Public Library. Please indicate on your check that you would like your contribution to go to the Book Endowment Fund. The mailing address is:

 

Book Endowment Fund

South Pasadena Public Library
1100 Oxley Street
South Pasadena CA 91030

BEF contributions are tax deductible. All contributors are recognized in the
Annual Report, so please let us know how you want to be acknowledged.
