“I donate at the Leadership Circle level because I believe the SFPL, with its strong network of community branches, provides an invaluable service to people of all ages, cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds. The SFPL is a great unifier, one that levels the playing field in a city that has its share of challenges emanating from robust but uneven growth. During a difficult year, I applaud SFPL for successfully expanding its role to meet immediate needs while also staying true to its core mission.”

​-Vishal Saluja, Board Member
