Friends Of The Los Alamos Public Library Friends of the Library:
Our mission is to support free and open access to information, learning, and literacy for the community of Los Alamos, California.

History of the Los Alamos Public Library:

The Los Alamos Public Library was built in 1966 by the County of Santa Barbara and served the Los Alamos community until 1988, when the Los Alamos School District requested a termination of the lease to use the building for classroom space. At one point in the late 90s, the building was used as a privately owned pre-school. When the Orcutt Union School

District took over management of Olga Reed Elementary School in 2011, the building was used as an office and storage area for the school/community garden. The Friends of the Los Alamos Public Library (FOL-LA) was formed in August of 2013 to launch the Bring Back our Library project. In addition to providing support to the public library, FOL-LA will raise funds for the school garden as part of their mission. Mission Statement:

Our mission is to support free and open access to information, learning, and literacy for the community of Los Alamos, California. We envision the Los Alamos Public Library as a space that provides resources that will engage, educate, and enlighten with diverse perspectives on issues that affect our lives.
