Friends of the Library
back to events
This dedicated group of literary
buffs enjoy a good spin. Each
month, they sponsor a public
lecture with top authors who
visit the library, speak about
their literary works, and sign
books. If you have been bitten
by the bug to read (or write),
this is one of the better
organizations to help you
connect with fiction and
non-fiction in Huntington Beach.
(Our favorite poetry group is
Tebot Bach.)
With an
individual membership costing
only $15, this is one of the
most affordable groups to join
in the city. In addition to
their love of books, the group
also shares a kinship to
supporting the Huntington Beach
Library System, which unlike
other surrounding cities,
operates independently of the
county organization. With a
healthy system of library
branches and the shining star,
Central Library in Central Park,
Friends of the Library provides
volunteers who run the gift shop
inside the door of Central
Library. Gift cards, kids games
and books, puppets and puzzles,
and lots of gems such as
porcelain collector items, can
be purchased in the gift shop.
A portion of the proceeds
benefits programs as the
library.
In addition to
volunteer opportunities, free
invitation to the annual Friends
party and invites to trips,
you'll get the satisfaction of
knowing you are supporting
reading, literacy, and the many
free programs the library system
provides, some through the help
of Friends of the Library.
