Planned Giving

Sponsorship

Help offset the deepest budget reductions the Library has ever faced. Sponsorship benefits the Foundation and the sponsor. Various sponsorship plans are available. Click here for the Sponsorship Packet.

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 Susan Murphy at (831) 622-9289 for information regarding book drop-offs and pick-ups throughout the year and details on their annual August Book Sale.
