About Read to Raise

Read to Raise is a fundraiser hosted by the San José Public Library Foundation to raise funds for Literary Arts programs at the San José Public Library (SJPL), including Summer Learning and Winter Reading. Participants can win fun prizes at the end of the program.

How it Works
