Passionate about the role libraries play in our society and the Hayward community specifically? Help the Hayward City Council make critical decisions about library policies.
Adult Literacy

Literacy is the key to independence, self-sufficiency and pride. Help empower someone by providing them with the tools needed to get back on track. A few hours a week can change someone's life - and your life, too.
After School Homework Support

Whether a student is struggling with an entire subject or just needs a fresh perspective on a particularly difficult problem, providing a helping hand can make all the difference in the world. Assist students with their homework after school, Monday through Thursday.
