We are proud to sponsor this epic event. Thank you for your support of the library for 40 Years!

Dust off your leg warmers and don those parachute pants! We're going back to the 80's for our 40th Anniversary. To mark this significant milestone, we've planned an 80’s themed celebration from Wednesday, September 21st through Saturday, September 24th.

Save the date(s)! On Wednesday, September 21st, we are unveiling a new library card with special guest speakers, Mayor Bob Engler, City Manager Emeritus Grant R. Brimhall, and Library Services Director Jennifer Patterson. The following days will be filled with retro arcade games, classic 80’s movies and music, culminating with a Ruby Red Celebration on Saturday, September 24th. Stop by the library from 11am to 4pm for live music, games, prizes, crafts, kids’ activities, and refreshments from The Habit Food Truck and Kona Ice.

The County of Ventura has declared a local health emergency though only three individuals in the county have tested positive for COVID-19. (All 3 had been traveling abroad.) After county health’s emergency declaration, the City of Thousand Oaks made preparations for its own: until further notice, all non-essential city facilities with a capacity of 250 people or more are closed to the public, that includes the Goebel Adult Community Center, Grant Brimhall and Newbury Park libraries and Thousand Oaks Teen Center. Many upcoming shows at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center have been rescheduled until later in the year. Ventura County Community Colleges and Cal Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks are the latest institutions to announce a halt of in-person classes.

It is with a heavy heart that we grieve the passing of Ed Lawrence on December 9, 2019. It has been an honor for the Thousand Oaks Library Foundation (TOLF) to be one of the organizations in the community, along with the city, CLU and Conejo Recreation and Park District that found a way 8 years ago to preserve the Ed Lawrence Collection for our community.

Now housed at the Grant R. Brimhall Library, his images will live on in perpetuity for all to enjoy. Working with Ed through the years was a special joy for staff and the board. He loved Thousand Oaks and wanted to live and die here. We are thankful for his life and legacy and send our deepest condolences to his daughter Lynn and family.
