Volunteer
ADVOCACY
The Santa Monica Public Library is a key part of the local recovery effort. If the city restored $2 million in funding, the Library could reopen all five branches, five days a week. Our community deserves their library. Make your voice of support for the Library heard. Email all Councilmembers at council@smgov.net and let them know you prioritize restoring funding to the Library.
BOOKSTORE – ON HOLD
The Friends Bookstore succeeds through the hard work and dedication of volunteers. Positions are available for 2 1/2 hour shifts one day a week for volunteers.

Volunteering in the bookstore has given me the joy of being surrounded by books - one of my greatest sources of entertainment. The pleasure of providing inexpensive sources of reading materials is a huge part of the volunteer experience.
I've met some wonderful patrons and have made many friendships with fellow volunteers.
Processing books and finding "treasures" is exciting and keeps my mind active and I learn new things.
To spread the love of reading especially to those who cannot afford to buy books!
