SPRING 2021 UPDATE

With the relaxation of some of the Covid restrictions due to falling cases, the library is now offering Express Service at Sharp Park Library only. During Express Service, you’ll be able to enter the library, browse the collection, checkout items, and use the computers and printers. Building capacity will be limited and furniture reduced with limited seating, so let’s help give everyone a chance to enjoy the library by keeping visits to under one hour.

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.
