Welcome to LALE.
We are the Los Altos Library Endowment.
LALE actively supports library-related programs and projects across Los Altos, Los Altos Hills and Santa Clara County.
Our Board of Directors provides financial oversight and stewardship of the endowment to ensure that LALE can continue to serve its mission long into the future. We believe that technology and STEM-related projects are transforming brick and mortar libraries to extensive, always-on resources for everyone in the community.
LALE Programs
Our supported activities range from booking speakers at the Science and Technology Week at the Los Altos Library, to bringing new technologies to support the needs of the library patrons in the branches, to bringing library resources to people closer to home.
Show Your Support
At LALE, we seek outright gifts and bequests from those who value the role of a superb library in the education of our children, and who appreciate the availability of the library's extensive information resources and other services to the entire community.
Your support provides the flexibility necessary to allow us to respond to the ever-evolving world of library needs and priorities.
Our Vision
To enrich the community through learning, education, and creativity.
Our Mission
Fund and support local and district library programs and facilities that encourage intellectual exploration, education, and innovation. Incorporate technology as a foundation for maximum impact and awareness.
