About the Family Resources Program

Family Resources Can Help You

  • Do you find yourself in a situation about which you have no past experience or knowledge?
  • Do you lack the time to make investigations into the resources that might be helpful to you?
  • Does the very need to make the investigation add to the stress you already feel?
  • Does it seem like there is no place to turn for help?

If you would like assistance in using this website, Palo Alto's Public Libraries offer free instruction on how to navigate the web.

Come by the Family Resources Office
In our office, you can speak to a Resource Specialist in person. You can also browse our resource materials collected from a variety of sources, sorted in the same eight resource categories found on this website.

We are here to help alleviate the stresses and frustrations of looking for resource information to help your family. If we do not know or cannot find the information you need quickly, we will do the investigations for you and search for the resources you need.

Map of Internet Access Locations
It is a long-standing view of the Family Resources team that all people should be provided with opportunities to access the Family Resources website regardless of whether or not they have internet access at their home. To achieve this, nine collaborating sites offering public internet access are featured in Family Resources publicity materials, including a map to their locations.
