About the Friends

May 2023

​

The Friends of the Half Moon Bay Library is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 94-2939460). The Friends support our local library by enhancing programs for adults, teens and children of all ages and backgrounds in our community.

​

We are extremely proud of the achievements below (and many more!)

• We are extremely proud of the achievements below (and many more!)

• We ensure financial support to the library for the Adult Meals Program. The program provides about 45 meals every day to those in need in our community.

• We raised nearly $15,000 during the Coastside Gives 2022 campaign for permanent shade awnings and additional outdoor furniture to ensure that the library provides a safe, welcoming outdoor place to gather throughout the year. Some of the furniture is now in place in the Childrens Garden at the library!

• We are pleased to be working in partnership with the Coastside Community School Backpack Drive by donating childrens books and financial support.

• We have started an eBay bookstore for unusual, rare, or collectible books that have been donated. Go to www.ebay.com/usr/friends_hmb for more information.

• We have Sidewalk Book Sales at the library on the 3rd Saturday of the month. These are a major source of revenue for us. And check out our Book Cart and Bookshelves anytime the library is open for gently-used fiction and non-fiction!
