Library fundraisers launch first capital campaign: $1 million will address technology needs - San Jose Mercury News: "To better serve users like Smyth, the Friends of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries has launched its first-ever capital campaign to raise $1 million for technology upgrades. Prompted by the library's ongoing budget woes, the nonprofit group, which made a record donation of $300,000 this year, hopes to raise $200,000 for priority technology needs by the end of 2010 and the remaining $800,000 within two years.
'This is the first time we have organized to solicit,' said campaign leader Carole McPherson, the board's vice president. 'We have existed (previously) on the generosity from the community.'"
