Adult Education staff and the Library’s contracted social services support worker can answer questions and make referrals. This free service is available in English and Spanish.

Appointments can be made by calling (805) 963-3727 or by visiting the Eastside Library. The City has a list of resources on its website at SantaBarbaraCA.gov/StormRecovery to answer commonly asked questions.
