Cultural Advisory Committees

Cultural Advisory Committee members are community volunteers who serve to advise the library on ways to share the history and traditions of their respective cultures. Each Cultural Advisory Committee has a Library Liaison on staff who helps to coordinate and market the events.  The cultural programs are funded through donations from the San Mateo Public Library Foundation.

Bringing the Community Together

Are you eager to collaborate with other members of the community and help the library to partner with other organizations to promote education, cultural awareness, and civic engagement?

Planning Events

Are you brimming with ideas for library programs with a cultural focus that will appeal to the residents of San Mateo and other local areas?  Volunteer with us!
