For more than a century,
Harrison Memorial Library has
been the heart and soul of our
community: a cultural center
providing books, programs
and Library services free to
more than 100,000 patrons and
visitors every year. The Carmel
Public Library Foundation provides
the funds that make this happen.

Annual Campaign

In these challenging times, Harrison Memorial Library usage is at an all-time high. At the same time, public funding for our Library has been cut. Now more than ever, the library needs your support. To make your gift, click here.

Support the Library

Our community Library lives because of the generous donations of the people of the greater Carmel community and the Central Coast of California. It is easy to become a member and donor of the Foundation and to take pride in contributing to the Library’s ongoing success.

Upcoming Events

The Foundation not only funds the Library but also produces a number of fun, exciting and stimulating events throughout the year. These special programs help to light up the literary landscape of Carmel.
