Announcements:

Dear Friends of the Palisades Library,

 

I am pleased to report that our temporary library facility--we’re calling it the Palisades Library “Book Bungalow”--is on schedule to be up and running by the fall. LAPL is planning to create a welcoming space located near the entry to the park. It will include a small browsing collection, holds pickup, Wi-Fi, community meeting space, and even a home for the Friends of the Library. It’s a meaningful first step toward restoring library services in the Palisades as well a place for us all to meet and gather. 

 

More good news includes the conditional approval of FEMA funds to support the rebuilding of our library. Next steps will include selecting an architect and developing a timeline and a plan for eliciting community input. We will keep you informed as we learn more from LAPL.

 

I’m also happy to announce that a new group of energetic and visionary leaders has stepped up to guide the Palisades Friends in this next chapter, led by our new board president, Cameron Pfizenmaier. In the coming months, the board will determine where local fundraising can enhance our new library and weigh-in on key milestones and timelines. There will also be lots of news to report in terms of how our “Book Bungalow” can help us stay connected, provide programming, and continue to serve the community while we rebuild.

 

After nearly two decades on the board and nearly a decade as president, I am excited to welcome new volunteer leaders to our organization. Serving in this role has inspired me, challenged me, and filled me with gratitude to be part of a community so deeply committed to our library and its future. 

 

Thank you for your trust, your commitment, and the many moments of collaboration, friendship and laughter we’ve shared over the years. But most of all, thank you for your continued support of the Pacific Palisades Library Association!

 

With gratitude and affection,

 

Laura Schneider
