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.
