The Friends of the Library parking lot book sales will return in 2024. Volunteers are needed to accept book donations in January.
One of the great benefits of living in Pacific Palisades has been the Friends of the Library donations and book sales. The volunteer-led organization had to stop that community service during Covid, but both are now slated to resume in January 2024.
January book donations and hours will be Wednesdays, January 10, 17, 24 and 31 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Saturdays, January 13, 20 and 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Volunteers will be in the library parking lot, 861 Alma Real, during those hours to accept donations.
Books must be in GOOD condition. They should not be written in or highlighted or show excessive wear and tear.
Volunteers will NOT accept magazines, textbooks, CDs, DVDs or encyclopedias. Do NOT leave donations at the library when volunteers are not present.
About 30 Palisades residents have volunteered to continue this long-standing Palisades tradition, and more are always needed. To join the Friends of the Library or to volunteer to accept donations or to work book sales, email friends@friendsofpalilibrary.org.
