UPDATE: JAN 23, 2021
A new year has come, and a new administration is in Washington D.C. This has been a tumultuous year in our history. The first cases of Covid-19 were showing up about a year ago and then it bloomed into a full epidemic, and now they are projecting 500,000 dead by the end of next month. The San Mateo County Library System shut down all branches in March of last year and shifted to virtual operations. At the time of the shut down we were preparing for a book sale in early April. That was cancelled and all access to the book storage area was closed. As a result, we have not been accepting donations. The new administration is promising to ramp up delivery of the vaccine. Today Dr. Fauci predicted that all adults will be vaccinated by July, and life could start to look more normal by the fall. If that holds true, we might begin planning for a late November early December book sale. Stay tuned for information about when we will begin accepting donations again. We will continue to update this space.

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.
