About Us

The Friends of the Los Alamitos-Rossmoor Library, founded in 1961, is a 501(c)3 Corporation.
Our purpose is to raise interest in and foster literacy and a love of reading in our community by: 

1. Operating a bookstore and holding  special sales as a major source of fundraising to provide financial support to the Los Alamitos-Rossmoor Library;
2. Providing children’s and adult cultural programs of interest to the community; and
3. Communicating with the membership and community through newsletters, flyers, press, and internet to provide information about activities, book sales, special events, and all other information vital to the functioning of the organization.

Greetings!

Los Alamitos-Rossmoor Friends of the Library, a volunteer non-profit organization, supports our local library branch by funding numerous projects and activities throughout the year. Our primary funding sources are the operation of our book store, bi-monthly outdoor book sales, membership fees, and generous donations. 

Our Board meets monthly on Wednesday afternoon and conducts its Annual Meeting in May.

We are always eager to welcome new volunteers into our FOL family. Also, check us out on Facebook for a current update on our activities including free community programs, book sale dates, seasonal activities, and children & teen programs, etc.

Happy Reading!

Del Clark
