UPDATE >> July 11, 2020 >>

The curbside pick-up has been so popular that the days and hours are extended. The new hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am – 4 pm. The curbside tables are located in the parking lots of each library. After ordering a book from smcl.org, you will receive an email letting you know when it is available for pickup. Then you go to www.smcl.org/curbside-pickup/ to make an appointment to pick up your item. Your item will be on a table in a bag with your last name on it.

Adjacent to the book pickup table is another table with books for children for the Summer Learning Challenge. Each child in Pacifica is eligible to choose 2 books to take home. The PFOL helped fund this giveaway to help keep children reading during the summer. No appointment is necessary. To get the form to finish the challenge go to https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdZACCw9f6dOjKoxH6f-re_iykB7QlDEdFPmR9TdJPsWzd0pw/viewform. By submitting this form, you become eligible to enter a drawing for a $1,000 scholarship.

We will update this section as new information becomes available.

Welcome to the website of the Pacifica Friends of the Library (PFOL). The Friends of the Library are a dedicated group of library supporters who share the belief that libraries are vital to the health of a community and our democracy. Not only do libraries provide unbiased information in many formats, but they also serve as a community gathering place for a free exchange of ideas and entertainment. Beyond that, libraries also play a role in educating children through many interactive programs. We are currently working together with the Pacifica Library Foundation to bring the community together to create a new building which will help the library fulfill its mission in a setting that encourages community participation. With this in mind, here is our mission statement:

Pacifica Friends of the Library is 501(c) 3 non-profit organization established to develop closer relations between the Libraries and the residents of Pacifica. To this end, PFOL provides funds for library programs, creates awareness of library needs, and promotes volunteerism.

BOOK SALES

Our major fundraisers are our popular book sales. We have two large two-day book sales a year with occasional supplementary sales. One sale is usually the beginning of June and the second is the first weekend of December. The sale begins on a Friday, 11 am to 6 pm, and continues on Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. Watch this space for the dates of the next upcoming Book Sale. For information on book sales and how to donate books, click here.
