Supported by thousands of community members from San Mateo, Hillsborough, and beyond, San Mateo Celebrates! A National Library Week Festival is a vehicle for local businesses big and small to show their support for our community of 76,000+ library card holders, while also making real impact in expanding our reach to those who may not yet know about—but need—the free services, programs, and resources our San Mateo Public Library offers.

Designed to delight a wide range of audiences, San Mateo Celebrates! is a week of specialized programming; amplified versions of what is made accessible by our Children’s, Teens, Adults, Literacy, and Circulation departments year-round.

With your support, this magical and intergenerational week of cultural and educational events can continue to grow to its full potential, creating an annual opportunity for wholesome and intergenerational exploration, learning, and connection.
