GIVING & SUPPORT
Giving and support – become a member and donor of The Carmel Public Library Foundation
Never has the Library been more important to our community. It is truly the heart and soul of Carmel. Usage at Harrison Memorial Library is at an all-time high. The services and programs offered by the Library are the most extensive ever (to learn more, go to what we do). And in these challenging economic times, the funding for the Library by the City has been reduced. The Foundation — because of the loyalty and generosity of its members and donors — has stepped up to the plate. Because of the increased number of supporters and their generous gifts, we have been able to maintain the Library’s hours and to continue to provide books and services. But to do this we need everyone’s continued support.

Friends of the Library
The Friends of the Harrison Memorial Library provide valuable financial support, allowing the Library to increase the size and scope of its collection by raising a significant amount of money through an annual book sale. The Friends’ Book Sale is one of the highlights of the literary scene on the Monterey Peninsula. They welcome the donations of all of those books that are on your shelves or packed away somewhere that are ready to have new owners. The Friends are a fully staffed volunteer operation, and their three-day book sale in the fall is a major civic event: literally thousands of books are available for sale. First, give them a call to donate books. Second, come to the annual August Book Sale.
Call Anne Rurka at (831) 625-3418 for information regarding book drop-offs and pick-ups throughout the year and details on their annual August Book Sale.
